I Made the Prison Band - Merle Haggard

Deep inside this lonely prison

Where the pleasures are so few

Where the walls are strong and the days are long

And there's nothing new

I learned to play the guitar

And I'm doing the best I can

I guess I could be worse

Cause I made the prison band

I made the prison band

Now there's old bashful Bill

On the doghouse base

Willie on the steel guitar

He hails from Pocatello

And he drags a pretty mean bar

And back on the drums there's two-time Tom

A rim shot tempo man

The boys call me their singing emcee

Cause I made the prison band

I made the prison band

I'd been planning a break since Christmas

I had the details all worked out

But now I know that I ain't gonna go

And there's no doubt

I had my try-out Sunday

And the outcome changed my plans

I gotta rehearse for the Friday night show

Cause I made the prison band

I made the prison band

Aah aah there's old bashful Bill

On the dog house base

Willie on the steel guitar

And he hails from Pocatello

And he drags a pretty mean bar

And back on the drums is two-time Tom

A rim shot tempo man

The boys call me their singing emcee

Since I made the prison band

I made the prison band
