Okie From Muskogee Lyrics
And Acoustic Demo

Welcome to this Okie From Muskogee lyrics page where I've assembled the lyrics below to this song along with an partial acoustic demo for this song.

Another #1 from the album of the same name back in 1969 and spent 4 weeks at the top. If you asked anyone to name the most famous Haggard song, this would probably be it.

--- Start Of Okie From Muskogee Merle Haggard Lyrics ---

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
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

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

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