Merle Haggard – Okie From Muskogee Lyrics

Read Time:52 Second

We dont smoke marijuana in Muskogee
We dont take no trips on Lsd
We dont burn no draft cards down on main street
We like livin right, and bein free

We dont make a party out of lovin
We like holdin hands and pitchin woo
We dont let our hair grow long and shaggy
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do

And Im 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 lightnins still the biggest thrill of all

Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear
Beads and Roman sandals wont be seen
Footballs still the roughest thing on campus
And the kids here still respect the college dean

And Im 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 lightnins still the biggest thrill of all
And white lightnins still the biggest thrill of all
