18 and Life (Live in London)

[Intro]
This song right here
Started everything for this band
We know you know it
And if you know it, you better fuckin' sing it

[Verse 1]
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 out of school, came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down, no

[Pre-Chorus]
He had no money, no, no good at home
Walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
And now it's

[Chorus]
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, oh-oh-oh, yes

[Verse 2]
Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline
It kept his motor runnin' but he never kept him clean
They said he loved adventure, Ricky's the wild one
He married trouble, had a courtship with a gun

[Pre-Chorus]
Bang-bang, shoot 'em up, party never ends
You can't think of dyin' when the bottle's your best friend
And now it's

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
"Accidents will happen," they all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind
Child blew a child away

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Alright
Sing it, come on
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

[Chorus]
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, yeah

[Outro]
Woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh
Good evening, London
It feels so fuckin' good to be back here once again, baby
Are you guys havin' 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"
Ha ha ha
And now three years later, I wake up as the lead singer of Skid fuckin' 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 fuckin' bring your A-game
And I want you all to come
