[Intro] This song right here Started everything for this band We know you know it And if you know it, you better fuckin' sing it [Verse 1] Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone Lived 9-to-5 and he worked his fingers to the bone Just barely out of school, came from the edge of town Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down, no [Pre-Chorus] He had no money, no, no good at home Walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone And now it's [Chorus] Eighteen and life, you got it Eighteen and life, you know Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go Eighteen and life, you got it Eighteen and life, you know Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go, oh-oh-oh, yes [Verse 2] Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline It kept his motor runnin' but he never kept him clean They said he loved adventure, Ricky's the wild one He married trouble, had a courtship with a gun [Pre-Chorus] Bang-bang, shoot 'em up, party never ends You can't think of dyin' when the bottle's your best friend And now it's [Chorus] Eighteen and life, you got it Eighteen and life, you know Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go Eighteen and life, you got it Eighteen and life, you know Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go [Bridge] "Accidents will happen," they all heard Ricky say He fired his six-shot to the wind Child blew a child away [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Alright Sing it, come on Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah [Chorus] Eighteen and life, you got it Eighteen and life, you know Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go Eighteen and life, you got it Eighteen and life, you know Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go Yeah, yeah [Outro] Woah-oh Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh Good evening, London It feels so fuckin' good to be back here once again, baby Are you guys havin' a good time so far?
