I wish a buck was still silver, and it was back when the country was strong,
A7 D
Back before Elvis, and before the Vietnam war came along,
G D G
Before the Beatles and yesterday, when a man could still work, and still would,
A7
is the best of the free life behind us now,
D
and Are The Good Times Really Over For Good.
G
Are we rollin' downhill like a snowball headed for hell.
A D
With no kind of chance for the flag or the liberty bell.
G
I wish a Ford or a Chevy, would still last ten years like they should.
A7
Is the best of the free life behind us now,
D
And Are The Good Times Really Over For Good.

I wish Coke was still cola, and a joint was a bad place to be.
A7 D
It was back before Nixon lied to us all on TV.
G D G
Before Microwave ovens, when a girl could still cook, and still would,
A7
Is the best of the free life behind us now,
D
and Are The Good Times Really Over For Good.
G
Stop rollin' downhill like a snowball headed for hell.
A D
Standup for the flag, and let's all ring the liberty bell.
G
Let's make a Ford and a Chevy that'll still last ten years like they should.
A7
The best of the free life is still yet to come,
D
And the good times ain't really over for good.
