We don't smoke our draft cards in Muskogee
All we ever drops are BVD's
We don't known no hippies, queers or commies
'Cause we like livin' right and bein' free

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
And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all

We do lots of lovin' in Muskogee
We ain't never heard of pitchin' woo
We don't shoot that deadly marijuana
We get drunk like God wants us to 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 at the courthouse
And white ligthnin's still the biggest thrill of all
