Well, me and Roy Nichols and couple other fellows in the band
We got to talking it over and thought we’d take off a little time if we can

I don’t mean to say I’m quitting, 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 is coming home

Play it, Ken

It has been twenty years of traveling
Twenty years of living out on the road
Learning these chords and learning these songs
Paying up all these dues they said I owe

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

Count it up, Marc
