My old friend Merle Haggard did. Does anyone else, besides Merle & me, wish they lived in Muscogee?
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee;
We don't take no trips on LSD
We don't burn no draft cards down on Main Street;
We like livin' right, and bein' free.
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 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.
Leather boots are still in style for manly 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.
Sounds like my kinda town. I wish there still were places like this in America, but it seems that even the most Conservative states have been infected by the Hippie culture. I don’t want to go downtown and have my children see two guys holding hands. I don’t want my son smoking pot. I don’t want my daughter practicing “safe sex”. I don’t want her practicing ANY sex until she is married.
Does anyone else here long for the 1950’s again? Does anyone else wish they could live in Muskogee?
