Are The Good Times Really Over?

(albüm: Influence Vol. 2: The Man I Am - 2014)

I wish a buck was still silver and it was 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 rolling 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

Stop rolling 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 over for good
