written by Roy Burris and Merle Haggard
G
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
D7
We don't take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
G
We like living right and being free
We don't make a party out of loving
D7
We like holding hands and pitching woo
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy
G
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
D7
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse
G
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all
Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear
D7
Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen
Football's still the roughest thing on campus
G
And the kids here still respect the college dean
D7 G
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all
repeat #3
