calfoxwc Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Lyrics I wish a buck was still silver It was back when the country was strong Back before Elvis, before 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 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 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 T.V Before microwave ovens when a girl could still cook, and still would Is the best of the free life behind us now Are the good times really over for good? Stop rolling downhill 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 'Cause the best of the free life is still yet to come And the good times ain't over for good Songwriters: MERLE HAGGARD © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC For non-commercial use only.

calfoxwc Posted June 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 er...wait...anti-Vietnam War songs misses the point. It's about not losing America, not fighting a war/war is bad. Not the same thing, darn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
