[Verse 1]

We don’t smoke

 marijuana in 

Muskogee
              
and we don’t t

              
ake our trips 

       
on L.S.D


And we don’t b

urn our draft 

cards

down on main street
              
But we like li

              
ving right and

       
 being free.

[Chorus]

And I’m proud 

to be an Okie 

From Muskogee
              
A place where 

              
even squared c

              
an have a ball


We still wave 

Ol’ Glory down

 at the courth

ouse

White lightning’s still the biggest thrill of
            
all

    

[Verse 2]

We don’t make 

a party out of
