Okie From Muskogee (Down Every Road Version)

Okie From Muskogee (Down Every Road Version) - Merle Haggard And The Strangers

We don't smoke m*******a in Muskogee;

We don't take our trips on LSD

We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street;

Cause we like livin' right and bein' 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 Okie from Muskogee

A place where even squares can have a ball

We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse

And white lightnin'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 Old Glory down at the courthouse

White lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all

And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all
