(Merle Haggard - Eddie Burris)

We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
And we don't take trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
'Cause we like living right and being free.

And 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 courthouse
And white lightning'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.

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 courthouse
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all.

And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all
(In Muskogee, Oklahoma U.S.A...)
This song is from the album "Your Love Is Heavenly Sunshine [Capitol]".
