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 it's 18 and life You got it18 and life you knowYour crime is time and it's18 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, "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 friendAnd now it's (chorus) "Accidents will happen" they all heard Ricky sayHe fired his six-shot to the wind that blew a child away. (chorus)
Youth Gone WildSince I was born they couldn't hold me downAnother misfit kid, another burned-out townNever played by the rules I never really caredMy nasty reputation takes me everywhereI look and see it's not only meSo many others have stood where I standWe are the young so raise your handsThey call us problem childWe spend our lives on trialWe walk an endless mileWe are the youth gone wildWe stand and we won't fallWe're the one and one for allThe writing's on the wallWe are the youth gone wildBoss screamin' in my ear about who I'm supposed to beGetcha a 3-piece Wall Street smile and son you'll look just like meI said "Hey man, there's something that you oughta know.I tell ya Park Avenue leads to Skid Row."I look and see it's not only meWe're standin' tall ain't never a doubtWe are the young, so shout it outThey call us problem childWe spend our lives on trialWe walk an endless mileWe are the youth gone wildWe stand and we won't fallWe're the one and one for allThe writing's on the wallWe are the youth gone wildThey call us problem childWe spend our lives on trialWe walk an endless mileWe are the youth gone wildWe stand and we won't fallWe're the one and one for allThe writing's on the wallWe are the youth gone wildWe are the youth gone wild



I Remember You

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through

I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew you were there for me
Time after time you were there for me

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

We spend the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said I love you babe, without a sound
I said I'd give my life for just one kiss
I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you
