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.
