Joe Exotic’s Heartbreaking New Single “Can I Get an Amen” Echoes from Prison Walls

Joe Exotic’s Heartbreaking New Single “Can I Get an Amen” Echoes from Prison Walls — A Plea for Justice, Forgiveness, and Freedom

July 16, 2025 Fort Worth, TX –

From a cold prison cell at the Fort Worth Medical Center in Texas, surrounded by silence, steel and the weight of betrayal, Joe Exotic has written the most powerful song of his life.

His new single, “Can I Get an Amen,” is a raw, soul-baring cry for redemption, truth, and the chance to make things right - and it’s already capturing the hearts of listeners around the world.

This isn’t just a song.
It’s Joe’s testimony.
It’s his pain.
It’s his prayer.

“Can I Get an Amen” is the sound of a man stripped of everything but his voice, and that voice is louder than ever. Through aching verses and a chorus full of desperate hope, Joe reflects on time lost, lessons learned, and faith that somehow, justice will come.

“This song isn’t just music it’s my soul speaking. I’ve lost years, but I haven’t lost hope. This is for anyone who’s ever been silenced, betrayed, or forgotten. Can I get an amen?” — Joe Exotic, from prison

Written entirely by Joe himself and recorded through the help of a team of loyal musicians committed to sharing his truth, “Can I Get an Amen” draws deep from Joe’s lifelong love of gospel music.

Inspired by the hymns and spirituals he has clung to during his darkest hours, Joe channels his faith driven passion into every line.

The result is a deeply moving ballad of regret, resilience, and hope — the kind of song that uplifts even as it aches. It’s a movement. A spiritual anthem for second chances — and for anyone who’s ever been pushed aside, falsely accused, or left behind.

Inside prison, Joe has become a quiet source of strength for fellow inmates - sharing music, encouragement and faith with those around him. His songwriting sessions have sparked inspiration in other inmates who have nearly lost their own voices. His message is clear: You may be caged, but your spirit doesn’t have to be.

As Joe’s legal team fights tirelessly for his freedom, he hopes this song will reach beyond bars and borders — into the hearts of people everywhere who believe in forgiveness, second chances and standing up against injustice.

Can I Get An Amen Lyrics
Well, I spend my days wishin' away Sittin' here thinkin' 'bout my wasted ways Yeah, the pain is deep, but not as deep as my tears For the man upstairs knows my fears

And I spend my nights tossin' and turnin' On this prison bed, and my stomach's churnin' I got a burnin' yearning for my freedom Man, I shoulda seen it comin', but I never seen it 
Can I get an Amen I didn't realize that time is so precious 'Cause I never been on the side of them fences Now I can't wait 'til I get released Lord knows, I got a yearning to make all this right

I spend my days thinkin' 'bout mistakes Like how I shoulda never put my trust in snakes If I had another chance, I'd make it all right With my trust in the man upstairs I will win this fight

 But, y'all, you live and you learn, take what you earn And sometimes your best lessons come from bein' burned When you're stuck in a cell, you have time to reflect Now I know why people say that hindsight's best

Can I get an Amen 'Cause I didn't realize that time is so precious 'Cause I never been on the side of them fences Now I can't wait 'til I get released Lord knows, I got a yearning to make all this right

Fueled by his love of gospel music and a deep well of personal loss, Joe writes not just for himself, but for the silenced, the overlooked, and the wrongly accused.
