I Fought The Law Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

Breakin' rocks in the hot sun 

I fought the law and the law won 

I fought the law and the law won 

I needed money and I had none 

I fought the law and the law won 

I fought the law and the law won 

Left my baby and I feel so bad 

I guess my race is run 

She's the best thing that I ever had 

I fought the law and the law won 

I fought the law and the law won 

Robbin' people with a zip gun 

I fought the law and the law won 

I fought the law and the law won 

I miss my baby and good fun 

I fought the law and the law won 

I fought the law and the law won 

Left my baby and I feel so bad 

I guess my race is run 

She's the best thing that I've ever had 

I fought the law and the law won 

I fought the law and the law won 

Left my baby and I feel so bad 

I guess my race is run 

She's the best thing that I've ever had 

I fought the law and the law won 

I fought the law and the law won
