Burris, & Merle R. Haggard) 12 Merle Haggard #1 Hits (Album) Transcriber- Anita W. Cantor 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, bein' free An' we don't make no party outta lovin' We like holdin' hands an' pitchin' woo We don't let our hair grow long n' 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 Court House An' white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all An' leather boots are still in style for manly footwear Beads an' Roman sandals won't be seen Football is 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 We still wave Old Glory, down at the Court House An' white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all An' white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA (Eeeeeeeee)
