Ricky had a will
Ricky had a way
Ricky was a stubborn kid
He showed it every day
But he didn't yell
And he didn't fight
Instead of starting arguments
Ricky would take flight
Oh - He hasn't done is yet but he just might
Hey - Ricky takes flight tonight
Escape - Time to get away
Take leave from his fears
And now he's in the clear
Bitten by the belt
And lashed by the tongue
But through all his problems
He looks out for number one
When he doesn't like
Whatever's going on
He knows that he can just walk off
He'll calm down before too long
