I wish a buck was still silver and it was back when the country was strong
|
Back before Elvis and before the Vietnam war came along
|
Before the Beatles and yesterday when a man could still work and still would
|
Is the best of the free life behind us now
|
And are the good times really over for good
|
|
Are we rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell
|
With no kind of chance for the flag or the liberty bell
|
I wish a Ford or a Chevy would still last ten years like they should
|
Is the best of the free life behind us now
|
And are the good times really over for good
|
|
I wish Coke was still cola and a joint was a bad place to be
|
It was back before Nixon lied to us all on TV
|
Before Microwave ovens when a girl could still cook and still would
|
Is the best of the free life behind us now
|
And are the good times really over for good
|
|
Stop rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell
|
Standup for the flag and let's all ring the liberty bell
|
Let's make a Ford and a Chevy that'll still last ten years like they should
|
The best of the free life is still yet to come
|
And the good times ain't really over for good
|

Are The Good Times Really Over?
