Are The Good Times Really Over - Wynonna Judd

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 and still would

Is the best of the free life behind us now

Are the good times really over for good?

Are we rolling downhill 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 And it was back before Nixon lied to us all on TV

Before microwave ovens

When a girl still cooked wood

Is the best of the free life behind us now

Are the good times really over for good?

Are we rolling downhill 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 downhill 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

'Cause the best of the free life is still yet to come

The good times ain’t over for good
