Haggard, Merle - Okie From Muskogee Lyrics






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

Yes, sir

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 nasty and dirty,
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.

Everybody sing one time

I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball.
Yes, sir
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all.

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 campus,
And the kids they still respect the college dean.

And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball.
And we still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all.

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

    H.... ....

    Basically boring people ( squares) can also enjoy a boogie, or party, for example.
    Cheers
    Mik UK

    H.... ....

    or Old Fashion People (Golden Moldy) from NZ

    H.... ....

    Squares were people that had jobs and contribute to a growing and vibrant economy and community. The opposite would be a dirty filthy hippie liberal ,perpetual victim drain on society always looking for a handout

  41. d.... m....

  42. K.... A....

    Love the music love you guys.

    A perfect duo

  49. D.... W....

    This is hilarious. Merle and Willie were/are both proponents of psychedelics. Look at Merle's face when he sings that refrain about LSD. They both know (their audience and their experience).

  50. U.... ....

    Never worked out if this song is satire or straight up, but great song. My dad sang it once with his band and looked straight at me. I was WASTED. Dunno if he knew or not. RIP Dad, you had a great voice too.
