[Verse 1]
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
We don't take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
'Cause we like living right, and being free
[Verse 2]
We don't make a party out of loving
'Cause 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
[Chorus]
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 lightning's still the biggest thrill of all
[Verse 3]
Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear
Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen
And football's still the roughest thing on a campus
And the kids here still respect the college dean
[Chorus]
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 lightning's still the biggest thrill of all
White lightning's still the biggest thrill of all
In Muskogee Oklahoma USA
[Outro]
I've been living in Hollywood California for two years
And uh, I don't think it's had any effect on me
