Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
              D#                F
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone
Gm
Just barely out of school came from the edge of town

Fought like a switchblade
   D#        F                  D#
So no one could take him down, He had no money, ooh
Cm
No good at home
D#                                  F
He walked the streets a soldier, and he fought the world

alone

And now its...

Eighteen and life to go

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

best friend

And now it's...

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