Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[B][B][E][E]

[Verse 1]
[E]We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
We don't take our trips on LS[B]D
We don't burn our draft cards
down on Main Street
'Cause we like livin' right, and bein' [E]free

[Verse 2]
[E]We don't make a party out of lovin'
But we like holdin' hands and pitchin' [B]woo
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy
Like the hippies out in San Francisco [E]do

[Chorus 1]
And I'm [E]proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a [B]ball
We still wave Old Glory
down at the courthouse
And white lightnin's still
the biggest thrill of [E]all[C]

[Verse 3]
Leather [F]boots are still
in style for manly footwear
Beads and Roman sandals won't be [C]seen
And football's still
the roughest thing on campus
And the kids here still
respect the college [F]dean

[Chorus 2]
And I'm [F]proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a [C]ball
We still wave Old Glory
down at the courthouse
And white lightnin's still
the biggest thrill of [F]all

[Outro 1]
And white [C]lightnin's still
the biggest thrill of [F]all
In Mus[C]kogee, Oklahoma, US[F]A
