Beach Boys - Okie From Muskogee Lyrics


Beach Boys Lyrics

Okie From Muskogee Lyrics
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 livin' right, and bein' free

We don't make a party out o' lovin'
That's ‘cause we like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo
And we don't wear our hair all long and shaggy
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do

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 by the courthouse
White lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all

Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear
Beads and Roman sandals can't be seen
Football's still the roughest thing on campus
And the kids there still respect the college dean

(Sing along)

And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
(A place)
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down by the courthouse
And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all

(Come on, everybody, I'm proud …)

I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
(A place)
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down by the courthouse
(White lightnin')
White lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all
White lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA
