Oakie From Muskogee

Okie  from  Muskogee  (Live  Version)  -  Merle  Haggard

We  don't  smoke  marijuana  in  Muskogee;

We  don't  take  no  trips  on  LSD

We  don't  burn  no  draft  cards  down  on  Main  Street;

We  like  livin'  right,  and  bein'  free.

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

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.

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,

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.

We  still  wave  Old  Glory  down  at  the  courthouse,

In  Muskogee,  Oklahoma,  USA.
