Okie From Muskogee Lyrics - Jeannie C. Riley

We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee 

We don't take our trips on LSD 

We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street 

'Cause we like a living right and being free 

We don't make a party out of loving 

'Cause 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 Ol' Glory down at the courthouse 

And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all 

Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear 

Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen 

Football's still the roughest thing on campus 

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 

In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA
