Happy Birthday Jon!

Jon, Hope you had a great one today... Happy birthday!



Justin


Instead of singing that traditional Birthday song,

Let's all sing together that beloved Merle Haggard song,

Okie from Muskogee




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.
