18 and Life

(Bolan, Snake)

Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone

Lived 9 to 5 and worked his finger to the bone

Just barely out of school, came from the edge of town

Fough like a switchblade so no one could take him down

He had no money, ohh no good at home

He walked the streets a soldier and he fough 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

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 gazoline

It kept his motor running, but it never kept him clen

They say he loved adventure, Ricky's the wild one

He married trouble had a courtship with a gun

Bang bang, shooting '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

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 child 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

18 and life you got it

18 and life you know

Your crime is time and it's

18 and life to go
