Chorus:
------

      D            ‘             ‘              ‘
I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
  D                ‘                  ‘         ‘
A place where even squares can have a ball
A7                 ‘                  ‘         ‘
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
    A7                        ‘                 D    ‘
And white lightin's still the biggest thril of all


Verse 2:
-------

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.


Chorus:
------

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,
And white lightin's still the biggest thril of all


Verse 3:
-------
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.


Outro:
-----

We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.
