 That was the kind of character study of what Merle Haggard and his co-writer thought that a small-town person would think about the peace movement and the anti-war movement. If people know the song, it's, we don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee, we don't take our trips on LSD, we still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse, etc. But he supposedly said that Muskogee, Oklahoma, was the only place he didn't smoke marijuana in 1969. Ha ha ha!
