This song right here, started everything for this band
We know you know it
And if you know it, you better fucking sing it!
Ricky was a young boy
He had a heart of stone
Lived nine-to-five and he worked his fingers to the bone
Just barely out of school
Kid from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade, showed no one could take him down, no
He had no money
No, no good at home
Walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
And now it's eighteen and life, you got it
Eighteen and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go
Eighteen and life, you got it
Eighteen and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go, yeah
ย
Tequila in his heart beat
His face burned gasoline
It kept his motor running
But he never kept it clean
They said he loved adventure
Ricky's the wild one
He married trouble and a quick shot with a gun
Bang, bang, shoot 'em up
Party never ends
You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend
And now it's eighteen and life, you got it
Eighteen and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go
Eighteen and life, you got it
Eighteen and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go
ย
"Accidents will happen," the island Ricky said
He fired his six-shot to the wind
Shot through a child's head
ย
Alright
Sing it, come on!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Eighteen and life, you got it
Eighteen and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go
Eighteen and life, you got it
Eighteen and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go, yeah
ย
Woah
ย
Woah, woah, woah
ย
Good evening London!
It feels so fucking good to be back here once again, baby!
Are you guys having a good time so far?
Fuck yeah, man
So, last time we played here was back in 2019
And, I was in another band at the time
And, and we opened up for Skid Row right here on this stage
And I'm gonna tell you something
I was up on that balcony after our show
And I told myself
"Man, I so wanna get on stage and sing '18 and Life' with these guys"
ย
And now three years later, I wake up as
The lead singer of Skid fucking Row, man!
Alright, so I want you all to get your hands up like this
Oh, by the way, we're recording this show tonight for a live DVD
So you better fucking bring your A-game!
And I want you all to come!
