Okie from Muskogee - Merle Haggard
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
And we don't take our trips on LSD
And we don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street.
But we like living right and being free.
We don't make a party out of loving,
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 Ol'Glory down at the Court House,
white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all.
Leather boots are still in style
if a man needs 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
