Are the Good Times Really Over

Are the Good Times Really Over - Randy Travis

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

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

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
