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

Well, I left my baby and I feel so bad
I guess my race is run
She was the best girl I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

Well, I'm robbin' people with a six-gun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

Well, I left my baby and I feel so bad
I guess my race is run
She was the best girl I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
