The song was first recorded in early 1965 by Canton, Ohio, R&B singer Limmie Snell under the name "Lemme B. Good". About a month later the song was redone -- with considerably rewritten lyrics -- by R&B/novelty artists The Olympics, but this version was only moderately successful at best, reaching number 81 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart.

The Byrds recording of the song was influential in initiating the musical subgenre of folk rock, leading many contemporary bands to mimic its fusion of jangly guitars and intellectual lyrics in the wake of the single's success.

I Can't Explain was the A-side of the group's first single released under the name The Who—their previous single, "I'm the Face"/"Zoot Suit," was released as The High Numbers. The song's intro resembles "Louie Louie". In the album's liner notes, Townshend also noted the song's similarity to the contemporaneous hit single "All Day and All of the Night" by The Kinks.

The concept for the song was supposedly originally inspired by Townshend’s idea that The Who were a 'substitute' for The Rolling Stones (Townshend had been particularly impressed by The Stones' hit "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and was determined to come up with a memorable riff in response), though it was later described as a comment about the blurring between image and reality.

D
Me and some guys from school,
A
had a band and we tried real hard
D
Jimmy quit and Jody got married,
A
should've known we'd never get far
Bm A
Oh when I look back now,
D G
that summer seemed to last for ever
Bm A
And if I had the choice,
D G
I'd always wanna be there
Bm
Those were the
A [Riff: D A]
best days of my life
D
Ain't no use complaining,
A
when ya gotta job to do
D
Spent my evenings down at the drive in
A
and that's when I met you
Bm A
Standing on your Mamma's porch
D G
you told me that you'd wait forever
Bm A
And when I held your hand I
D G
knew that it was now or never
Bm A [Riff: D A]
Those were the best days of my life.
[Riff: D A]
Back in the summer of '69
F Bb
Man we were killin' time
C
We were young and reckless.
Bb
We needed to unwind
F Bb C
I guess nothing can last forever...
[Riff: D A] (2 times)
D
And now the times are changing,
A
look at everything that's come and gone
D
Sometimes when I play my old six string,
A
I think about you wonder what went wrong
Bm A
Standing on your manna's porch
D G
You told me it'd last forever
Bm A
And when I held your hand I
D G
knew that it was now or never
Bm A [Riff: D A]
Those were the best days of my life.
[Riff: D A]
Back in the summer of '69
D A... (fade out)

Chorus:
------
D ‘ ‘ ‘
I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
D ‘ ‘ ‘
A place where even squares can have a ball
A7 ‘ ‘ ‘
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
A7 ‘ D ‘
And white lightin's still the biggest thril of all
Verse 2:
-------
We don't make a party out of lovin';
We like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo;
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy,
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.
Chorus:
------
I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightin's still the biggest thril of all
Verse 3:
-------
Leather boots are still in style for mainly footwear;
Beads and roman sandals won't be seen.
Football's still the roughest thing on campus,
And the kids here still respect the college dean.
Outro:
-----
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.

Haggard told "The Boot" that he wrote the song after he became disheartened watching Vietnam War protests and incorporated that emotion and viewpoint into song. Haggard says, "When I was in prison, I knew what it was like to have freedom taken away. Freedom is everything. During Vietnam, there were all kinds of protests. Here were these [servicemen] going over there and dying for a cause — we don't even know what it was really all about. And here are these young kids, that were free, bitching about it. There's something wrong with that and with [disparaging] those poor guys." He states that he wrote the song to support the troops.
