Merle Haggard's, "Okee From Muskogee"
Better Lyrics:
We dont vote for Obama in Muskogee
We think Palin's a good choice for VeePee
We don't like what's hap'nin down on Wall Street
And we don't care that McCain is 73.
I'm proud to be an Okee from Muskogee
A place where votes count one an' all
We still wave the Conferderate flag down at the courthouse
And Bin Laden's still the biggest thrill of all.
We think Palin's a good choice for VeePee
We don't like what's hap'nin down on Wall Street
And we don't care that McCain is 73.
I'm proud to be an Okee from Muskogee
A place where votes count one an' all
We still wave the Conferderate flag down at the courthouse
And Bin Laden's still the biggest thrill of all.
Original Lyrics:
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 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

Merle Haggard's, "The Bottle Let Me Down"
Better Lyrics:
Tonight the Bible let me down
And Jesus was nowhere to be found
The Word I thought was sacred, sound
Tonight the Bible let me down
I've always had a scripture I could turn to
And lately I've been turnin'- but away
Because I don't feel His love the way I used to
And I'm missin' my old secular ways...
And Jesus was nowhere to be found
The Word I thought was sacred, sound
Tonight the Bible let me down
I've always had a scripture I could turn to
And lately I've been turnin'- but away
Because I don't feel His love the way I used to
And I'm missin' my old secular ways...
Original Lyrics:
Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down
I've always had a bottle I could turn to
And lately I've been turnin' every day
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to
And I'm hurtin' in old familiar ways
And let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down
I've always had a bottle I could turn to
And lately I've been turnin' every day
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to
And I'm hurtin' in old familiar ways
