Breaking rocks in the hot sun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

Well I needed money 'cause I had none

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

Well I miss my baby and I feel so bad

I guess my race is run

She's the best friend I ever had

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

Well I'm robbin' people with a six gun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

Well I miss my baby and the good fun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

Well I miss my baby and I feel so bad

I guess my race is run

She's the best friend 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

I fought the law and the law won
