Are the Good Times Really Over for Good?
June 04, 2024
I wish a buck was still silverAnd it was back when country was strongBack before Elvis and before Viet Nam war came alongBefore the Beatles and "Yesterday"When a man could still work and still wouldIs the best of the free life behind us now?And are the good times really over for good?Are we rollin' down hill like a snowball headed for hellWith no kind of chance for the flag or the Liberty BellI wish a Ford and a Chevy would still last ten yearsLike they shouldIs the best of the free life behind us now?And are the good times really over for good?I wish coke was still colaAnd a joint was a bad place to beAnd it was back before Nixon lied to usAll on TVBefore microwave ovensWhen a girl could still cookAnd still wouldIs the best of the free life behind us now?And are the good times really over for good?Are we rollin' down hill like a snowball headed for hellWith no kind of chance for the flag or the Liberty Bell?
