I Made The Prison Band (2001 Digital Remaster) - 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 nothin' new
I learned to play the guitar
And I'm doin' the best I can
I guess I could be worse
'Cause I made the prison band
I made the prison band
Now there's ol' 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 singin' emcee
'Cause I made the prison band
I made the prison band
I'd been plannin' 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 ol' bashful bill
On the doghouse base
Willie on the steel guitar
And he hails from pocatello and
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 singin' emcee
Since I made the prison band
I made the prison band
