For the Flag or the Liberty Bell When a girl could still cook and still would Before the Vietnam war came along The best of the free life is still yet to come Like a snowball headed for Hell? For the Flag or the Liberty Bell Before microwave ovens Songwriter: Merle Haggard With no kind of chance Like a snowball headed for Hell? I wish Coke was still Cola It was back before Nixon lied to us all on TV Is the best of the free life behind us now? Stop rolling down hill Are the good times really over for good? When a man could still work, still would Are the good times really over for good? Is the best of the free life behind us now? It was back when the country was strong Still last ten years like they should The best of the free life behind us now Are we rolling down hill The best of the free life behind us now And let's all ring the Liberty Bell Are the good times really over for good? Like a snowball headed for Hell And a joint was a bad place to be Wish a Ford and a Chevy Could still last ten years, like they should And are the good times really over for good? Wish a Ford and a Chevy Are we rolling down hill The good times ain't over for good With no kind of chance Stand up for the Flag I wish a buck was still silver Could still last ten years, like they should Let's make a Ford and a Chevy Back before Elvis Publisher: SONY/ATV SONGS D/B/A TREE PUBG CO Before The Beatles and 'Yesterday'
