Looks like she's playing a C chord. That's a great oldie. Sometimes I wonder if there was less smiling back then. Whaddya think?

The picture fits to the text. Even if I don't know what it means but just suppose.

Neat photo. It invites me to stare at it and wonder about the music and the musicians. That it is from Oklahoma doesn't hurt it. I grew up about 15 miles north of Muskogee and am in Tulsa now.

I remember when the song came out in 1969. The first time I heard it I was driving around Muskogee looking for something. The DJ said Haggard wrote it in a sarcastic mood after he was busted for pot while in Muskogee. Wikipedia's article is very different, but it was kind of a tongue in cheek sort of thing.
