Breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the the law won (x2)
I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the the law won (x2)

I miss my baby and I feel so sad
I guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the the law won (x2)

Robbin' people with a six-gun
I fought the law and the the law won (x2)
I miss my girl and I miss my fun
I fought the law and the the law won (x2)

I miss my baby and I feel so sad
I guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the the law won (x2)

I fought the law and the law won (x3)
I fought the law and the the law won (x4)
I fought the law
