[A]
[B] [D]
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee.
We don't take our trips on [A] LSD.
We don't burn our draft cars down on [Em] Main [A] Street.
Cause we like living right and being [D] free.
We don't make a party out of loving.
But we like holding hands and pitching [A] woo.
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy.
Like the hippies out in San Francisco [D] do.
I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee.
A place where even squares can have [A] a ball.
We still wave old glory down at the courthouse.
White lightning still the biggest thrill [D] of all.
[Bb]
[Eb] Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear.
Beads and roman sandals won't [Bb] be seen.
And football still the roughest thing on [F] campus.
[Bb]
And the kids here still respect the [Eb] college dean.
[Eb] And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee.
A place where even squares can [Bb] have a ball.
[F] [Bb]
We still wave old glory down at the courthouse.
White lightning still the biggest [Eb] thrill of all.
And [Bb] white lightning still the biggest thrill [Eb] of all.
Big [Bb] custody of our
[Eb]
