It was incredible.  Any fan of real country would have loved this behind the scenes look at the emotional, talented, reclusive Hag.

Are we rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell?

Funny this song was popular when I was a kid. Now I am grown with kids of my own, and it still seems to fit.

I guess Mom and dad did have it right, and were correct all along.

Just substitute your hometown for Muskogee, OK.





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.

But there is so much more than Okie...

the ballads, the blues, the politics!...

He is truly an icon.  (also the youngest man to ever be pardoned from California prison)
