• Okie From Muskogee

    We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
    We don't take our trips on LSD
    We don't our burn draft cards down on Main Street
    'Cause we like living right and being free

    We don't make a party out of loving
    But we like holding hands and pitching wood
    We don't wear our hair all long and shaggy
    Like the hippies out in San Francisco do

    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 court house
    And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all

    Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear
    Beads and roman sandals wont be seen
    And football's still the roughest thing on campus
    And the kids there still respect the college dean

    White lightning's still the biggest thrill of all
    In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA

    Only played once by the Grateful Dead, in a set jointly with the Beach Boys on 27 April 1971 at the Fillmore East.
