i made the prison band

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 a doin' the best i can

i guess i could be worse because i made the prison band

i made the prison band. now there's ole bashful bill on the doghouse bass willie on the steel guitar

he hails from ponkatilla where they drive a pretty mean bar

and back on the drum there's two time tom our mshot temple man

the boys call me their singin' mc since i made the prison band

i made the prison band. i've 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 plan

i gotta rehearse for the friday night show cause i made the prison band

i made the prison band. now there's ole bashful bill on the doghouse bass willie on the steel guitar

he hails from ponkatilla where they drive a pretty mean bar

and back on the drum there's two time tom our mshot temple man

the boys call me their singin' mc since i made the prison band

i made the prison band. i made the prison band.
