I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

Breaking rocks in the hot Sun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I left my baby and it feels so bad
I guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

Robbing people with a six-gun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
(I fought the law and the law won)
I lost my girl and I lost my fun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
(I fought the law and the law won)

I left my baby and it feels so bad
I guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
