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

I wish a buck was still silver
Stop rolling down hill
Wish a Ford and a Chevy
Are the good times really over for good?
With no kind of chance
And a joint was a bad place to be
Like a snowball headed for Hell
Could still last ten years, like they should
The best of the free life behind us now
I wish Coke was still Cola
