18 and life  Skidrow

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, 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 (*)

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........ (*)

"Accidents will happen"
They all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind
That blew a child away (*)
十八歲和人生  史奇洛合唱團

瑞奇是個年輕的孩子
他有一副鐵石心腸
過著朝九晚五的生活
工作十分賣力
只想遠離學校
他來自小鎮的偏遠地區
像把摺疊刀一樣的戰鬥
沒有人能打敗他
他身無分文,在家也不安份
走在街上
像個戰士,獨自和世界奮戰
那是因為........

你擁有十八歲和人生
十八歲和人生啊!
青春時光是你犯的罪
你有十八歲和人生要過

他的心跳裡有龍舌蘭酒
血管中流動著汽油
那使他的機車不斷奔馳
卻始終不能讓他保持清醒
人們說他酷愛冒險
"瑞奇天生是個野東西!"
他和麻煩結了婚
曾經帶槍追求過一段時間
砰!砰!開槍吧!
筵席永不結束
你不會去想到死亡
當酒瓶是你最好的朋友
那是因為........

"意外總是在所難免"
人們都聽過瑞奇這麼說
他朝著風中開了六槍
轟掉了一個孩子的生命
