Some people say I’m sheltered And perhaps that is so But if that means watching slugs To shelter I’ll happily go That’s the way it is in Muskogee It’s a trip to go and get the news And the biggest scandal of all Is when Mr. Scott blew the local fuse. We just sit and watch the world go by We still raise the old Union Jack We still don’t know about foreign policy We just think I can’t be too late getting back Got to get the washing in Got to put the food on the fire Got to get in from the rain Livin’ free is our only desire And to go down to the freehouse To have a tipple of ale We know alot about the weather What to look for in thunder and hail We just cherish these honest values We just know no more can be done When the dark sets in And we start at the rise of the sun It’s quiet but it’s nice The last untapped reserve Free to do as you wish The Internet don’t get on your nerves You just talk to your neighbour When you want to know What the sport was last week And he’d say off to the shop I’ll go Come back two hours later With not much really to say Other than about the chicken he strung And that ‘rain stopped play’ Being an Oakie from Muskogee That’s all you had to chew on You sat and stewed over a brew Until the rain was gone Then you were back out and Sure enough you’d get a laugh As two old coots tried in vain To back a tractor down a path. I here people talking bad Sayingthe way things ought to be But life here is good If they would only come and see You don’t get no emails You don’t get no one bossing you The last place where you can be free And do what you want to do.
