Okie from Muskogee Lyrics


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 a living right and being freeWe don't make a party out of loving
'Cause we like holding hands and pitching woo
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy
Like the hippies out in San Francisco doAnd 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 courthouse
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of allLeather boots are still in style for manly footwear
Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen
Football's still the roughest thing on campus
The kids here still respect the college deanAnd 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 courthouse
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of allIn Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
