• Today I started loving you again <br /> I'm right back where I've really always been; <br /> I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend, <br /> Then today I started loving you again.

• Every fool has a rainbow <br /> But he never seems to find <br /> The reward that should be waiting <br /> At the end of the line. <br /><br /> But he'll give up a bed of roses <br /> For a hammock filled with thorns <br /> And go chasing after rainbows <br /> Every time a dream is born. <br /> <br /> And every fool has a rainbow <br /> That only he can see <br /> Every fool has a rainbow<br /> And the rule applies to me.

• We don’t smoke marijuana in Muskogee <br /> We don’t take our trips on LSD <br /> We don’t burn our draft cards down on Main Street <br /> We like living right and being free.

• I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee, <br /> A place where even squares can have a ball. <br /> We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse, <br /> And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all.

• I've lived through 17 stays in penal institutions. Incarceration in a penitentiary. Five marriages, a bankruptcy, a broken back, brawls, shooting incidents, swindlings, sickness, the death of loved ones and more. I've heard tens of thousands chant my name when I couldn't hear the voice of my own soul. I wondered if God was listening and I was sure no one else was.

• When the world wide war is over and done <br /> And the dream of peace comes through <br /> We'll all be drinking some free bubble up <br /> And eating some rainbow stew.
