Phil Ochs — Okie from Muskogee

[Verse 1] 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 'Cause we like living right, and being free [Verse 2] We don't make a party out of loving 'Cause we like holding hands and pitching woo We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy Like the hippies out in San Francisco do [Chorus] And 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 White lightning's still the biggest thrill of all [Verse 3] Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen And football's still the roughest thing on a campus And the kids here still respect the college dean [Chorus] And 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 White lightning's still the biggest thrill of all White lightning's still the biggest thrill of all In Muskogee Oklahoma USA [Outro] I've been living in Hollywood California for two years, and uh, I don't think it's had any effect on me.
