If Merle says it's ok, then it is ok.

Okie From Muskogee
Lyrics: Merle Haggard
Music: Merle Haggard

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
We like living right and being free

We dont make a party out of loving
But we like holding hands and pitching wood
We dont 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 here even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at 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 sndals wont be seen
Football's still the roughest thing on campus
And the kids here still respect the college dean

[chorus]

We still wave Old Glory down at the court house
In Muskogee Oklahoma USA

As I understand it, many of the "Grapes of Wrath" migrants succeeded both economically and socially, but there is still a tendency to be attached to fundamentalism, almost regardless of social class.....
