Okie From Muskogee Lyrics - Okie From Muskogee - Merle Haggard

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 

We like livin' right, and bein' free 

We don't make a 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 

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 

And the kids here still respect the college dean 

WAnd 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 

And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all 

In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.
