The lyrics are posted below:

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 in to the wind
that child blew a child away.

chorus

    Not many vocalists had a range like Sebastian Bach back then, two I can think of were Getty Lee of Rush, and Ronnie James Dio. But Bach sounded better than either of those two.

    기가막히게 노래부르는구먼. 가슴에엉긴 응어리를 죄다 녹이는듯한 시원한 가창력.

    Absolutely mind blowing voice and song. I'm loving it and always will. True masterpiece!
