Okie From Muskogee Lyrics

(Roy Edward Burris, Merle Ronald Haggard)
We don’t smoke Marijuana in Muskogee
We don’t take no trips on LSD
We don’t burn our draft cards down on Main Street
We like living right and being free.
We don’t make a party out of loving
But we like holding hands and pitching 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 Old Glory down at the Courthouse
And White Lightning’s still the biggest thrill of all.
Boots are still in style manly footwear,
Beads and roman sandals won’t be seen.
Football’s still the roughest thing on the Campus
And the kids there still respect the College Dean.
And I’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 Lightning’s still the biggest thrill of all,
And White Lightning’s still the biggest thrill of all.
