Annotationen

Bobby Fuller kam wie sein Vorbild Buddy Holly aus Texas. Nach ein paar lokalen Singles ging er mit seiner Gruppe nach Kalifornien und spielte anfangs Surf-Musik. Seine Karriere als erfolgreicher US-Beat-Musiker mit Bob Keene als Produzenten war von kurzer Dauer. Fuller wurde tot in einem Auto aufgefunden. Ob sein Tod Selbstmord war, blieb umstritten.

Lyrics

[A] I'm breakin' rocks in the hot sun I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won [A] I needed money 'cause I had none I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won [B] I left my baby and I feel so sad I guess my race is run But she's the best girl I've ever had I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won [A] Robbin' people with a six-gun I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won [A] I miss my baby and the good fun I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won [B] I left my baby and I feel so sad I guess my race is run But she's the best girl I've ever had I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won
