I wish a buck was still silver It was back when the country was strong Back before elvis, before veitnam war came along Before the beatles and yesterday When a man could still worked still would 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 kinda chance for the flag or the liberty bell Wish a ford and a chevy Would still last ten years like they should Is the best of the free life behind us know And 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 still cooked and still would Is the best of the free life behind us know And are the good times really over for good Are we rolling down hill like a snowball headed for hell With no kinda chance for the flag or the liberty bell Wish a ford and a chevy Would still last ten years like they should Is the best of the free life behind us know And 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 That would still last ten years like they should But the best of the free is still yet to come And the good times ain't over for good
