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 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 twenty 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 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 twenty years, like they should
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
Are the good times really 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 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 twenty 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 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 twenty years, like they should
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
Are the good times really over for good?
