The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Drinkin' beer in the hot sun

I fought the law and I won

I fought the law and I won

I needed sex and I got mine

I fought the law and I won

I fought the law and I won

The law don't mean shit

If you've got the right friends

That's how this country's run

Twinkies are the best friend I've ever had

I fought the law and I won

I fought the law and I won

I blew George & Harvey's

Brains out with my six-gun

I fought the law and I won

I fought the law and I won

Gonna write my book and make a million

I fought the law and I won

I fought the law and I won

I'm the new folk hero of the ku-klux-klan

My cop friends think that's fine

You can get away with murder

If you've got a badge

I fought the law and I won

I fought the law and I won

I fought the law and I won

I am the law so I won
