Just barely out of school came from the edge of town

Fought like a switchblade

So no one could take him down, He had no money, ooh
Am
No good at home
C                                  D
He walked the streets a soldier, and he fought the world

alone

Em                  C                    D
Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline
Em                        C           D
It kept his motor running, But it never kept him clean
Em
They say he loved adventure.
C          D                                C
Ricky's the wild one, He married trouble had a courtship
D
with a gun
C                        Am
Bang, bang shoot em' up, The party never ends
C                            D
You can't think of dying when that bottle is your

best friend

And now it's...

Accidents will happen, they all heard Ricky say
C                             D
He fired his six shot to the wind, that child blew a child away
