  • Merle Haggard I Made the Prison Band 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.
