I wish a buck was still silver
And it was back when country was strong
ย
Back before Elvis and before Viet Nam war came along
ย
Before the Beatles and "Yesterday"
When a man could still work and still would
ย
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
And are the good times really over for good?
ย
Are we rollin' down hill like a snowball headed for hell
ย
With no kind of chance for the flag or the Liberty Bell
ย
I wish a Ford and a Chevy would still last ten years
Like they should
ย
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
And are the good times really over for good?
ย
I wish coke was still cola
And a joint was a bad place to be
ย
And it was back before Nixon lied to us
All on TV
ย
Before microwave ovens
When a girl could still cook
And still would
ย
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
And are the good times really over for good?
ย
Are we rollin' down hill like a snowball headed for hell
ย
With no kind of chance for the flag or the Liberty Bell
ย
I wish a Ford and a Che
