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
Well, there's ol' bashful Bill on the doghouse bass, 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 rimshot tempo man
They 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 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
Well there's Ol' bashful Bill on the doghouse bass, 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 rimshot tempo man
The boys call me their singin' Emcee 'cause I made the prison band
I made the prison band
