I Fought The Law

Nanci Griffith · Blue Roses From The Moons [1997]

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
