I Fought the Law Lyrics

[Intro]
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

[Verse 1]
Breaking rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

[Chorus]
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 law won

[Verse 2]
Robbing people with a six-gun
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 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 fought the law and the law won)
[Chorus]
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 law won

[Outro]
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 law won
I fought the law and the law won

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
