Song Lyrics

We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
And we don't take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
But, we like livin' right, and bein' free

We don't make a party out of lovin'
But 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

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
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
And football's still the roughest thing on campus
And the kids here still respect the college dean

Now, 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
White lightning's still the biggest thrill of all
White lightning's still the biggest thrill of all

Merle Haggard, Roy Burris
