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.
