Lynn Anderson Lyrics
"Okie from Muskogee"

(Merle Haggard - Eddie Burris)

We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
We don't take no trips on LSD
We don't burn out draft cards down on Main Street
'Cause we like living right and being free.

We don't make a party out of loving
But we like holding 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 Ol' Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all.

Leather boots are still in style for manly foot wear
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...
