Country Music Lyrics

are the good times really over?

Are the good times really over - Merle Haggard. Sung by Jason Aldean on the tribute to Merle Haggard record

I wish a buck was still silver
It was back when the country was strong
Back before Elvis
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
Wish a ford and a Chevy could still last 10 years like it 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
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
Wish a ford and a Chevy could still last 10 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
Stand up for the flag
And let's all go ring the liberty bell
Let's make a ford and a Chevy still last 10 years like they should
Cause the best of the free life is yet to come,
And the good times ain't over for good!
