|
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, still would |
|
The best of the free life behind us now |
|
And 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 |
|
It was back before Nixon lied to us all on TV |
|
Before microwave ovens |
|
When a girl could still cook and still would |
|
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 |
|
Still last ten years like they should |
|
The best of the free life is still yet to come |
|
The good times ain't over for good |
