I fought the law
SONOS ROAM - Bruce Springsteen Lyrics

Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴

Breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won
I fougth 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 miss my baby and I feel so bad
I guess my race is run
She was 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 six-gun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I miss my baby and the good fun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I miss my baby and I feel so bad
I guess my race is run

She was the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

Line by Line Meaning

Breakin' rocks in the hot sun
Engaging in hard labor under the scorching heat

I fought the law and the law won
I resisted the legal system but was defeated

I needed money 'cause I had none
I was financially desperate and lacked funds

I miss my baby and I feel so bad
I deeply long for my beloved and experience sorrow

I guess my race is run
I believe my chances for success have come to an end

She was the best girl that I ever had
She was the most remarkable partner I've ever had

Robbin' people with a six-gun
Committing robbery at gunpoint

I miss my baby and the good fun
I yearn for my loved one and the joyful times we had
