The Okie From Muskogee's Comin' Home Lyrics - The Essential Merle Haggard: The Epic Years - Merle Haggard

Well, me and Roy Nichols and couple other fellows in the band 

We got to talking it over and thought we'd take off a little time if we can 

I don't mean to say I'm quitting, I'm just tired of making love to a telephone 

I'm coming home if I can find me a flight this morning, man 

The Okie from Muskogee is coming home 

Play it, Ken 

It has been twenty years of traveling 

Twenty years of living out on the road 

Learning these chords and learning these songs 

Paying up all these dues they said I owe 

And I may always be a rambler never lose the urge to roam 

I'm coming home if I can find me a flight this morning, man 

The Okie from Muskogee is coming home 

Count it up, Marc
