I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won, I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won, I fought the law and the...

I lost my girl and I lost my 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
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won, I fought the law and the...

I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
