What was a that song “well I’m proud to be an Okie from muskogee”?
Oh Yeah some guy named Merle wrote it....
We dont smoke marijuana in Muskogee;
We dont take our trips on LSD
We dont burn our draft cards down on Main Street;
We like livin right, and bein free.
Im 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 lightnins still the biggest thrill of all
We dont make a party out of lovin;
We like holdin hands and pitchin woo;
We dont let our hair grow long and shaggy,
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.
And Im 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 lightnins still the biggest thrill of all.
Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear;
Beads and Roman sandals wont be seen.
Footballs still the roughest thing on campus,
And the kids here still respect the college dean.
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.
Merle Haggard that was the name of the guy....
Been in some strange parts of the world and when I got homesick, that was MY song.
Thank you. I should have read the thread before posting.
