Merle Haggard

[Verse 1]
Deep inside this lonely prison where the pleasures are so few
Where the walls are strong and the days are long and there's nothing new
I learned to play the guitar and i'm a doing the best i can
I guess i could be worse because i made the prison band
I made the prison band
[Chorus]
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 singing mc since i made the prison band
I made the prison band
[Verse 2]
