I Fought the Law

The Grateful Dead The Crickets

March 14, 1993

Lyrics

Breakin rocks in the hot sun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I miss my baby and a good fun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I left my baby and I feels so bad

I Guess my race is run

Shes the best girl 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 needed money 'cause I had none

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I left my baby and I feel so bad

Guess my race is run

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

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won
