Well, me and Roy Nichols
And a couple other fellows in the band
We got to talking it over
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

It has been twenty years of traveling
Twenty years of living out on the road
Learning these chords and learning these songs
And paying up all these dues they say 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 is coming home
