Lyrics Asking Alexandria

Asking Alexandria

18 and Life

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 get 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 as soldier and he fought the world alone

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

He 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, ye-yeah

"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
