Artist/Band: Merle Haggard
Lyrics for Song: Are The Good Times Really Over
Lyrics for Album: Yesterdays Wine (1981-88) [2002]



(Merle Haggard)



I wish a buck was still silver like back when the country was strong

Back before Elvis and before the Vietnam 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' downhill like a snowball headed for hell

With no kind of chance for the flag or the liberty bell

I wish a Ford or 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

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' downhill like a snowball headed for hell

With no kind of chance for the flag or the liberty bell

I wish a Ford or 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?



Stop rollin' downhill like a snowball headed for hell

Standup for the flag, and let's all ring the liberty bell

Let's make a Ford and a Chevy that'll still last ten years like they should

The best of the free life is still yet to come

And the good times ain't really.
