18 and life - walking the streets a soldier and fighting the world alone
Jag upptäckte ikväll en låt som jag aldrig tidigare hört tror jag.
Gruppen som sjunger den heter Skid Row och låten heter 18 and life.
Jag hörde den dock med Idoldeltagaren Erik Grönwall. Texten berörde
mig och jag måste bara låtar er alla andra ta del av den. Tror vissa redan
har hört den tidigare. Det är en hårdrocksballad från 1989.
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 out of school, came from the edge of town.
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down, no!
He had no money, no, 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
(repeat)
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
18 and life you got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go
(repeat)
"Accidents will happen", they all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind and 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
(repeat)
