The Grateful Dead
Okie From Muskogee (with The Beach Boys)
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;
We like livin' right, and bein' free
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
I'm proud to be an Oakie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightin's still the biggest thril of all
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
And I'm proud to be an Oakie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightin's still the biggest thril of all
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse
