The band's first power ballad single, it was written by bandmates Rachel Bolan and Dave "the Snake" Sabo.The song was to be the band's biggest hit, reaching #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, but only reaching #11 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, which was previously their biggest market. It was named the 60th best hard rock song of all time by VH1. It was certified Gold on September 13, 1989, when it sold 500,000 copies.The song was written by Dave Sabo after he read a newspaper article about an 18 year old named Ricky who was sentenced to life imprisonment for shooting and killing somebody with a gun he thought was unloaded.This song also appears on Skid Row's greatest hits compilation, 40 Seasons: The Best of Skid Row. Lead singer of Skid Row, Sebastian Bach, released a live version of this on his solo album Bring 'Em Bach Alive!. It is also a playable song on the video game Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s.------------------------------------------------Lyrics:Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone.Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone.Just barely got out of school, came from the edge of town.Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down.He had no money, oooh no good at home.He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world aloneAnd now its18 and life you got it18 and life you knowYour crime is time and its18 and life to go(repeat above)Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline.It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean.They say he loved adventure, rickys the wild one.He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun.Bang bang shoot em up, the party never ends.You cant think of dying when the bottles your best friendAnd now itsChorusAccidents will happen they all heard ricky sayHe fired his six-shot to the wind that blew a child away.Chorus

Apr 26, 2012 - Old school days told stories and life's happening to save people and share feelings that we ourselves feel. Old school all the way.

Apr 29, 2012 - Skid Row suck nowadays, AC/DC is good but no Bon, Aerosmith still kick ass, Guns 'N' Roses not good anymore, Bon Jovi is okay, but Bon is losing his voice, Def is still okay, Led Zeppelin not anymore (exept those few gigs)

May 4, 2012 - are you fucking retarded?! "Asking Alexandria did this way better than them" my ASS! asking alexandria is a shit band with a bunch of drunked retards for musicians. i can tell by the comment that all you do is sit behind a computer, listen to your fuckin scene bands, and squint at your hate comments. If asking alexandria themselves saw your comment they themselves would probably tell you that you are wrong, get off this fuckin page and go listen to the music that sounds like shit in your ears.
