[Verse 1]
Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
Ricky是一个年轻人，他有着铁石心肠
Lived nine to five and he worked his fingers to the bone
朝九晚五的工作着，他的手指磨到只剩下骨头 （Note：此处为夸张）
Just barely out of school, came from the edge of town
他住在城镇的边缘，基本上没有上过学 （此处似亦可译为退学）
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down, no
兜里揣着小刀用来战斗，这样就没有人可以把他打倒。没有人。
[Pre-Chorus]
He had no money, no
他怀里没有钱，一点也没有
No good at home
家里也一贫如洗
Walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
他像战士一样在街上走着， 独自与世界对抗。
And now it’s 然后现在
[Chorus]
Eighteen and life, you got it
18岁和未来的人生 （你懂得）
Eighteen and life, you know

Your crime is time and it’s eighteen and life to go
Ricky啊你的罪行就是你所经历过的（日子）。你才18岁还有人生要走。

[Verse 2]
Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline

It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean
酒精维持着他的生命，却没让他镇定
They say he loved adventure, “Ricky’s the wild one”

He married trouble, had a courtship with a gun
他于麻烦和枪支相伴
[Pre-Chorus]
Bang-bang, shoot ‘em up, the party never ends 枪声响起，欢愉结束
You can’t think of dying when the bottle’s your best friend 在酒精的作用下你无法思考何为死亡
And now it’s 然后现在
