The Oakie From Muskogee’s Comin’ Home Songtext
von Merle Haggard

Well, me and Roy Nichols
And a couple other fellows in the band
We got to talkin′ it over
Thought we'd take off a little time, if we can

I don′t mean to say I'm quittin'
I′m just tired of making love to a telephone
I′m coming home, if I can find me a flight this morning, man
The Okie from Muskogee's coming home


Play it, man

It has been 20 years of travelin′
20 years of livin' out on the road
Learnin′ these chords and learnin' these songs
And paying up all these dues they said I owe

And I may always be a rambler
And never lose the urge to roam
I′m coming home, if I can find me a flight this morning, man
The Okie from Muskogee's coming home

Count it out, Mark
