Lyric Okie from Muskogee

(Merle Haggard - Eddie Burris)

We don t smoke marijuana in Muskogee
We don t take no trips on LSD
We don t burn out draft cards down on Main Street
Cause we like living right and being free.

We don t make a party out of loving
But we like holding hands and pitchin woo
We don t let our hair grow long and shaggy
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.

And I m proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Ol Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightning s still the biggest thrill of all.

Leather boots are still in style for manly foot wear
Beads and Roman sandals won t be seen
Football s still the roughest thing on campus
And the kids here still respect the college dean.

And I m proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Ol Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightning s still the biggest thrill of all.

And white lightning s still the biggest thrill of all
In Muskogee, Oklahoma U.S.A...
