Skidrow - 18 and Life Music Video and Lyrics

** I DO NOT OWN ANY PART OF THIS SONG, IT IS NOT MINE, I JUST POSTED IT , THIS SONG AND VIDEO IS PROPERTY OF SKIDROW** I just posted this because no one else had posted the music video and lyrics in the description.
The song was written by guitarist Dave Sabo after he read a newspaper article about an 18 year old named Ricky who was sentenced to life imprisonment for shooting and killing his friend with a gun he thought was unloaded.

Ricky was a young boy, He had a heart of stone.
Lived 9 to 5 and 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. Oh no!
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
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
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 and
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
