okie from muskogee - phil ochs lyrics

Loading...

[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 sh*ggy
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.
