Ooooh
Jessica ran with the man next door
Escaped in a fast black car
She left her home when she took my heart, but they didn't 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 ain't 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 ain't no ain't no ain't 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 ain't 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 ain't no ain't no ain't 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 ain't 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 ain't 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 ain't no fun. (etc.)
