Lyrics:



  • We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee;
  • We don't take no trips on LSD
  • We don't burn no draft cards down on Main Street;
  • We like livin' right, and bein' free.

  • 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

  • We don't make a party out of lovin';
  • 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.

  • We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
  • In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.
