We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee; We don't take no trips on LSD We don't burn no 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.
Hello, I love you Won`t you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game Hello, I love you Won`t you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game
She`s walking down the street Blind to every eye she meets Do you think you`ll be the guy To make the queen of the angels sigh?
Hello, I love you Won`t you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game Hello, I love you Won`t you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game
She holds her head so high Like a statue in the sky Her arms are wicked, and her legs are long When she moves my brain screams out this song
Sidewalk crouches at her feet Like a dog that begs for something sweet Do you hope to make her see, you fool? Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello I want you Hello I need my baby Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello
One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don't do anything at all Go ask Alice When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you're going to fall Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar Has given you the call Call Alice When she was just small
When the men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go And you've just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving low Go ask Alice I think she'll know
When logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's off with her head Remember what the dormouse said Feed your head Feed your head

When a man loves a woman Can't keep his mind on nothing else He'd trade the world for a good thing he's found If she's bad he can't see it She can do no wrong Turn his back on his best friend If he puts her down
When a man loves a woman Spend his very last dime Tryin'to hold on to what he needs He'd give up all his comforts Sleep out in the rain If she says that's the way it ought to be
When a man loves a woman I give you everything I've got Tryin'to hold on to your precious love Baby baby please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman Deep down in his soul She can bring him such misery If she is playing him for a fool He's the last one to know Loving eyes can never see
Yes, when a man loves a woman I know exactly how he feels 'Cause baby, baby, baby When a man loves a woman
voo'voo' voo' voo' voo'vooooo.... I think now, looking back, we did not fight the enemy, we fought ourselves - and the enemy was in us ... The war is over for me now, but it will always be there - the rest of my days. As I am sure Elias will be - fighting with Barnes for what Rhah called possession of my soul ... There are times since I have felt like the child born of those two fathers ... but be that as it may, those of us who did make it have an obligation to build again, to teach to others what we know and to try with what's left of our lives to find a goodness and meaning to this life ...
Sittin in the morning sun, I`ll be sittin' when the evening come, Watching the ships roll in, And I'll watch 'em roll away again, yeah, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, Watching the tide roll away, ouh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay, Wasting time.
I left my home in Georgia, Headed for the Frisco bay I have nothing to live for, Look like nothings gonna come my way,
So I'm just go sit on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, Wasting time
Look like nothings gonna change, Everything still remain the same, I can't do what ten people tell me to do, So I guess I'll remain the same, yes,
Sittin' here resting my bones, And this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes, Two thousand miles I roam Just to make this dock my home
Now I'm just go sit at the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away, ooh Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wasting time
