[Verse 1]

We don't smoke

 marijuana in 

Muskogee;
              
We don't take 

              
our trips on L

  
SD

We don't burn 

our draft card

s down on Main

 Street;
              
We like livin'

              
 right, and be

     
in' free.

[Chorus]

I'm proud to b

e an Oakie fro

m Muskogee,
              
A place where 

              
even squares c

              
an have a ball


 ----

We still wave 

Old Glory down

 at the courth

ouse,
              
And white ligh

              
tin's still th

              
e biggest thri

      
l of all

[Verse 2]
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.

[Chorus]

I'm proud to b

e an Oakie fro

m Muskogee,
              
A place where 

              
even squares c

              
an have a ball


 ----

We still wave 

Old Glory down

 at the courth

ouse,
              
And white ligh

              
tin's still th

              
e biggest thri

      
l of all

[Verse 3]
Leather boots are still in style for mainly 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.

[Chorus]

I'm proud to b

e an Oakie fro

m Muskogee,
              
A place where 

              
even squares c

              
an have a ball

We still wave 

Old Glory down

 at the courth

ouse,
              
And white ligh

              
tin's still th

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