Merle Haggard - Are the Good Times Really Over (I Wish a Buck Was Still Silver) Lyrics

Lyrics Are the Good Times Really Over (I Wish a Buck Was Still Silver) - Merle Haggard feat. George Jones



I wish a buck was still silver
And it was back when country was strong
Back before Elvis and before Viet Nam 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?
And are the good times really over for good?
Are we rollin' down hill like a snowball headed for hell
With no kind of chance for the flag or the Liberty Bell
I wish a Ford and a Chevy would still last ten years
Like they should
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
And 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 could still cook
And still would
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
And are the good times really over for good?
Are we rollin' down hill like a snowball headed for hell
With no kind of chance for the flag or the Liberty Bell
I wish a Ford and a Che
