[Verse]
I came back to find my Annie'd moved away
To some town in California called 'San Something'
Somewhere close to East LA
Don't think finding her was easy
'Cause something sure had changed my Tulsa girl
But I came here to show my love
And try to understand her crazy world

[Verse]
I was thrilled because she greeted me with joy
And was glad she still remembered well enough
To know some old Checotah boy
And I'd heard about those sugar cubes
Before I ever came to find her there
I was glad to be accepted
Even though I'm known as big time Annie's square

[Chorus]
I'm just big time Annie's leaning post
Someone she can turn to now and then
Annie says I'm people, Annie's friends don't question
The square John known as big time Annie's friend

[Verse]
Well sometimes I feel happy through and through
And I always find excuses
For anything my Annie wants to do
We don't agree on nothing
But I'll be danged if we don't make a pair
My friends call her hippie
And her friends call me big time Annie's square
[Chorus]
I'm just big time Annie's leaning post
Someone she can turn to now and then
Annie says I'm people, Annie's friends don't question
The square John known as big time Annie's friend
