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
