Are The Good Times Really Over (I Wish A Buck Was Still Silver)(Album Version) - Merle Haggard

作词：Merle Haggard

作曲：Merle Haggard

I wish a buck was still silver

It was back when the country was strong

Back before elvis before veitnam war came along

Before the beatles and yesterday

When a man could still worked still would

Best of the free life behind us now

And are the good times really over for good

Are we rolling down hill like a snowball headed for hell

With no kinda chance for the flag or the liberty bell

Wish a ford and a chevy

Would still last ten years like they should

Is the best of the free life behind us know

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 still cooked and still would

Is the best of the free life behind us know

And are the good times really over for good

Are we rolling down hill like a snowball headed for hell

With no kinda chance for the flag or the liberty bell

Wish a ford and a chevy

Would still last ten years like they should

Is the best of the free life behind us know

And are the good times really over for good

Stop rolling down hill like a snowball headed for hell

Stand up for the flag and let's all ring the liberty bell

Let's make a ford and a chevy

That would still last ten years like they should

But the best of the free Is still yet to come

And the good times ain't over for good
