Okie from Muskogee lyrics

We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee

We don't take no trips on LSD

We don't burn no draft cards down on Main Street;

We like livin' right, and bein' free.

We don't make no party out of lovin';

We like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo;

We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy,

Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.

I'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 lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all

[Instrumental]

Leather boots are still in style for manliest footwear;

Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen.

Football's still the roughest game on campus,

And the kids there 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 Old Glory down at the courthouse,

And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all.

We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,

In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.
