Okie From Muskogee Lyrics


David Houston Okie From Muskogee

Songwriters: Burris, R; Haggard, Merle;

We don't smoke marijuana in Tuskegee
We don't take our trips on L.S.D.
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
We like living right and being free

We don't make a party out of loving
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

In Muskogee, Oklahoma, U.S.A.
