OAKIE FROM MUSKOGEE

Merle Haggard
(C)1993 Backbeat Studio

We don't smoke marijuana in muskogee
And we don't take out trips on LSD.

We don't burn our draft cards
Down on main street
But we like livin' right and being 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 oakie from muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball.

We still wave 'ol glory down at the courthouse
And 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.

And I'm proud to be an oakie from muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball.

We still wave 'ol glory down at the courthouse
And white lightning's still
The biggest thrill of all.

We still wave 'ol glory down at the courthouse
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.
