Lyrics:

Sonny Curtis
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
Chorus: 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
Chorus: 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
