Are the Good Times Really Over
I wish a buck was still silver
It was back when the country was strong
Back before Elvis
Before the Vietnam war came along
Before The Beatles and yesterday
When a man still work, still would
The best of the free life behind us now
And now the good times really over for good
Are we rolling down hill
Like a snowball are headed for the hell
With no kind of chance
For the flag or the level of the belt
Wish a Ford and a Chevy
Could still last ten years, like a show
Is the best of the free life behind us now
Now 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 warm
The best of the free life behind us now
And now the good times really over for good
Are we rolling down hill
Like a snowball headed for the hell
With no kind of chance
For the flag or the level of the belt
Wish a Ford and a Chevy
Could still last ten years, like the show
Is the best of the free life behind us now
And now 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 find
Let's make a Ford and a Chevy
Still last ten years like the show
The best of the free life is still yet to come
And the good times ain't over for good
It was back when the country was strong
Back before Elvis
Before the Vietnam war came along
Before The Beatles and yesterday
When a man still work, still would
The best of the free life behind us now
And now the good times really over for good
Are we rolling down hill
Like a snowball are headed for the hell
With no kind of chance
For the flag or the level of the belt
Wish a Ford and a Chevy
Could still last ten years, like a show
Is the best of the free life behind us now
Now 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 warm
The best of the free life behind us now
And now the good times really over for good
Are we rolling down hill
Like a snowball headed for the hell
With no kind of chance
For the flag or the level of the belt
Wish a Ford and a Chevy
Could still last ten years, like the show
Is the best of the free life behind us now
And now 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 find
Let's make a Ford and a Chevy
Still last ten years like the show
The best of the free life is still yet to come
And the good times ain't over for good
