I wish a buck was still silver and it was back when the country was strong
G7 C
Back before Elvis and before the Vietnam war came along
F
Before the Beatles and yesterday when a man could still work and still would
G7
Is the best of the free life behind us now
C
And are the good times really over for good
F
Are we rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell
G7 C
With no kind of chance for the flag or the liberty bell
F
I wish a Ford or a Chevy would still last ten years like they should
G7
Is the best of the free life behind us now
C
And are the good times really over for good
F
I wish Coke was still cola and a joint was a bad place to be
G7 C
It was back before Nixon lied to us all on TV
F
Before Microwave ovens when a girl could still cook and still would
G7
Is the best of the free life behind us now
C
And are the good times really over for good
F
Stop rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell
G7 C
Standup for the flag and let's all ring the liberty bell
F
Let's make a Ford and a Chevy that'll still last ten years like they should
G7
The best of the free life is still yet to come
C
And the good times ain't really over for good
