Lyrics
(Verse)
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. I'm doin' the best I can
I guess things could be worse 'cause I made the prison band
I made the prison band
(Chorus)
Well there's ol' bashful bill on the doghouse bass, willie on the
Steel guitar. he hails from pocatello and he drags a pretty mean bar
Back on the drums is two-time tom, a rimshot tempo man
They call me their singin' emcee 'cause I made the prison band
Yes I made the prison band
(Guitar solo)
(Verse)
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 ain't 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
(Chorus)
Well there's ol' bashful bill on the doghouse bass, willie on the
Steel guitar. he hails from pocatello and he drags a pretty mean bar
Back on the drums is two-time tom, a rimshot tempo man
They call me their singin' emcee 'cause I made the prison band
Yes I made the prison band
