Merle Haggard - The Best Of The Capitol Years
Okie From Muskogee
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 living right and being free
We don't make a party out of lovin'
But 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 Old Glory down at the courthouse
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 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 Old Glory down at the courthouse
White lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all
We don't take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on main street
'Cause we like living right and being free
We don't make a party out of lovin'
But 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 Old Glory down at the courthouse
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 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 Old Glory down at the courthouse
White lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all
