Okie From Muskogee - Merle Haggard
[Verse 1]
C
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee;
We don't take our trips on LSD (G)
G
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street;
C
We like livin' right, and bein' free.
|[Chorus]
|C
| I'm proud to be an Oakie from Muskogee,
| G
|A place where even squares can have a ball ----
|G
| We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
| C
|And white lightin's still the biggest thril of all
[Verse 2]
C
We don't make a party out of lovin';
We like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo; (G)
G
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy,
C
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
C
Leather boots are still in style for mainly footwear;
Beads and roman sandals won't be seen. [G]
G
Football's still the roughest thing on campus,
And the kids here still respect the college [C] dean.
|[Chorus]
|C
| I'm proud to be an Oakie from Muskogee,
| G
|A place where even squares can have a ball ----
|G
| We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
| C
|And white lightin's still the biggest thril of all
[Outro]
G
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, [C] USA.
