I Fought the Law Lyrics
A-breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I miss my baby and uh, uh, good fun
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

I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
A-robbin' people with a zip-gun

I left my baby and it feels so bad
Guess my race is run
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
