ARE THE GOOD TIMES REALLY OVER

In The Style of Merle Haggard

. . I wish a buck

was still silver

it was back when the

country was strong
Back before Elvis

and before the V ietnam 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

and are the good times

really over for good
And are we

rolling down hill

like a snow ball

headed for hell
With no kind of chance

for the flag

or the Liberty Bell
I Wish a Ford and a Chevy

would still last ten years

like they should
Is the best of the free life

behind us now

and 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 N ixon

lied to us all on TV
Before microwave ovens

when a girl still cooked

and still would
Is the best of the

free life behind us now

and are the good times

really over for good
Are we rollng down hill

like a snow ball

headed for hell
With no kind of chance

for the flag

or the Liberty Bell
I wish a Ford

and a Chevy

would still last ten years

like they should
Is the best of the free life

behind us now

and are the good times

really over for good
Stop rolling down hill

like a snow ball

headed for hell
Stand up for the flag

and lets all ring

the Liberty Bell
Lets make a Ford

and a Chevy

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
