[Verse 1]
Breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I wanted money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

[Chorus]
I left my baby and I feel so bad, I guess the race is run
'Cause she's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

[Verse 2]
A robbin' 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 I miss my fun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

[Chorus]
I left my baby and I feel so bad, I guess the race is run
'Cause she's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
