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, oooh 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 

(repeat above) 

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 

chorus 

"Accidents will happen" they all heard Ricky say 

He fired his six-shot to the wind that blew a child away.
