Okie From Muskogee
(Roy Edward Burris, Merle Ronald Haggard)
We donâ"š¬â"ž¢t smoke Marijuana in Muskogee
We donâ"š¬â"ž¢t take no trips on LSD
We donâ"š¬â"ž¢t burn our draft cards down on Main Street
We like living right and being free.
We donâ"š¬â"ž¢t make a party out of loving
But we like holding hands and pitching woo.
We donâ"š¬â"ž¢t let our hair grow long and shaggy
LiKe the hippies out in San Francisco do.
And Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball.
We still wave Old Glory down at the Courthouse
And White Lightningâ"š¬â"ž¢s still the biggest thrill of all.
Boots are still in style manly footwear,
Beads and roman sandals wonâ"š¬â"ž¢t be seen.
Footballâ"š¬â"ž¢s still the roughest thing on the Campus
And the kids there still respect the College Dean.
And Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
I swear even squares can have a ball.
We still wave Old Glory down at the Courthouse
And White Lightningâ"š¬â"ž¢s still the biggest thrill of all,
And White Lightningâ"š¬â"ž¢s still the biggest thrill of all.
