[E]
We don't smoke marijuana in school.
We don't take no grips [B] on LSD.
We don't burn no draft cards down on Main Street.
We like living right and being [E] free.
We don't make no party out of loving.
We like holding hands, pitching, [B] woo woo.
And we don't let our hair go long and shaggy.
Like the hippies out in San Francisco.
[E] I'm proud to be a Coltskill, a Conestoga.
They tell me what's left [B] of Alabama.
We don't smoke marijuana.
The way folks go right down at the door.
My life's been still the biggest [E] thrill.
[C] [F]
[C] Leather
[F] boots still inside from Alice for wear.
Feet in roll-up sandals won't [C] be seen.
Football's still the roughest game on campus.
And the kids there still respect old [F] Jimmy D.
I'm proud to be an Oakie, a Conestoga.
They preach me Ernie, Mr.
Clare, and [C] Alabama.
Still wave old glory down at the courthouse.
My life's been still the biggest [F] thrill of all.
[C] We still wave old glory down at the courthouse.
Miss Tokyo, Oklahoma, [F] USA.
