[Bolan / Snake]
Ricky was a young boy, He had a heart of stone.
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone.
Just
barely got out of school, came from the edge of town.
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down.
He had no money, oh
no good at home.
He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
And now it's
18 and life You got it
18 and
life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go
Tequila in his heartbeat, His veins burned gasoline.
It kept
his motor running but it never kept him clean.
They say he loved adventure, "Ricky's the wild one."
He married trouble and had a
courtship with a gun.
Bang Bang Shoot 'em up, The party never ends.
You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best
friend
And now it's
18 and life You got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to
go
"Accidents will happen" they all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind that blew a child away.
18 and life
You got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go
