Are The Good Times Really Over For Good
I wish a buck was still silver.
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?
Are the good times really over for good?
Are we rolling down hill
Like a snowball headed for hell?
With no kind of chance for the Flag
Or the Liberty bell.
Wish a Ford and a Chevy,
Could still last ten years, like they should.
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
Are the good times really over for good?
I wish coke was still cola,
And a joint was a bad place to be.
And it was back before Nixon
Who 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?
Are the good times really over for good?
Are we rolling down hill
Like a snowball headed for hell?
With no kind of chance for the Flag
Or the Liberty bell.
Wish a Ford and a Chevy,
Could still last ten years, like they should.
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
Are the good times really over for good?
Stop rolling down hill
Like a snowball headed for hell.
Stand up for the Flag
And let's all ring the Liberty bell.
Let's make a Ford and a Chevy,
That will still last ten years, like they should.
'Cause the best of the free life is still yet to come,
And the good times ain't over for good.
