We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee;
We don't take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our 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.

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.

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.

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

Words to live by. :rofl: MAN, I love Merle Haggard, I have pretty much every record he put his name on.

Thats just too dang cool man!

I'm related to Marlo Thomas from the 1960s tv show "That Girl" she's my second cousin on my dads side. If any of you are big Family Guy fans, they always make fun of her on that show... example "Peter is dancing around NYC in a dress to some corny music and at the end of the schtick he tosses his hat into the air(freeze frame)"

Also my uncle is a big time producer for Sony Pictures out in LA.

My grandmothers maiden name was Heffner ... :P, and yep I am distantly related to old Hugh. He does not have anything to with my grandmothers side of the family, aparently there were family problems way back ... too bad.:(

That is a shame.

Welll....let's see. My great-grandfather, George Simon...he invented Simonize Car Wax. Not exactly "famous"...but it's cool to see his name on stuff all the time.

And not a direct relation...but I have a first cousin who is best friends with Michael McKean's wife. Michael McKean is best known for playing Lenny on Laverne & Shirley back in the 70's...and he's also Billy Crystal's best friend. So my cousin gets to hang out with that crowd. Must be nice! LOL

umm im distantly related to hitlers #2 in command. lol

I'm distantly related to Ben Franklin. It's like 9th great uncle or something. I'm also related by marriage to Keith Foulke, who's a pitcher for the Oakland Athletics.
