Lyrics:

Jessica ran with the man next door,
Escaped in a fast black car.
She left her home when she took my heart,
but they didnt get too far.
She died real clean along with him,
Cold in the midnight rain,
And I sit alone in my small, dark cell,
Wishin I was home again.

Next to me in cell block three,
A man sits head hung down,
He robbed a bank
Had an empty tank,
Ran out on the poor side of town,
They hemmed him in
And he fought like Flynn.
And it caused him a lot of pain.
Now he sits alone in his small dark cell,
Wishin he was home again.

Every mother's son,
Fought with the law and the law has won.
I said every mothers son,
Fought with the law and it aint no fun.
I said...
Every mother's son,
Fought with the law and the law has won.
I said every mothers son,
Fought with the law and it aint no aint no aint no fun.

Listen, all of us here just livin with fear
Awaitin for our time to come,
With the man in black theres no goin back,
Theres just no place to run
So far away, yet right next door,
A mans got a dozen friends
And we sit alone in our small dark cells, wishin we were home again.

Let me hear ya...
Every mother's son,
Fought with the law and the law has won.
I said every mothers son,
Fought with the law and it aint no fun.
I said...
Every mother's son,
Fought with the law and the law has won.
I said every mothers son,
Fought with the law and it aint no aint no aint no fun.

Now youre gonna die
Take a soul and learn to fly
Life is neither loss nor gain
Never more you feel the pain,
But you have to see the sadness
Of people you have known.
And we sit alone in this small dark cell wishin we were home again.

Every mother's son,
Fought with the law and the law has won.
I said every mothers son,
Fought with the law and it aint no fun.
I said...
Every mother's son,
Fought with the law and the law has won.
I said every mothers son,
Fought with the law and it aint no no fun.
Every mother's son,
Fought with the law and the law has won.
I said every mothers son,
Fought with the law and it aint no fun. (etc.)
