18 And Life





Semalam lagu ini diputar di radio. Terimbau zaman persekolah. Zaman "mixed tape". Rakam guna double deck  radio. Lagu ini salah satu lagu yang aku amat minat. Bak kata pepatah "they never make song like this nowadays". Lagu yang punya cerita di dalamnya. Kalau fikir betul-betul...aku ini ade juga terikut perangai Ricky ini



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



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 child blew a child away.
