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 miss my baby and I feel so bad

I guess my race is run

Well she's the best girl that I've 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 miss my baby and the good fun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I miss my baby and I feel so bad

I guess my race is run

Well she's the best girl that I've ever had

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won.
