ARE THE GOOD TIMES REALLY OVER (I WISH A BUCK WAS STILL SILVER)
Written by Merle Haggard

I wish a buck was still silver
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
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?
I 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
Back before everybody 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?
Are we rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell
With no kinda chance for the flag or the Liberty Bell
I wish a Ford and a Chevy
Would still last ten years like they should
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 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 years are still yet to come
And the good times ain't over for good

Damn sure nobody in the dnc EVER heard this song! GREAT cover guys, you're a well needed breath of fresh air

[@joegiardina1121]

That is a Cody Jinks song 🇺🇸💪

[@ThomTremblay]

As great as their originals are, their execution of "covers" is as fantastic as it is diverse.

[@corey2823]

Even more relevant right now, Haggard predicted the future.

A great remake of Hag's song, I feel he would be proud of the bangs cover.

I'm not an American
I'm not conservative
But I enjoy good music and that's what's brought me to this video.
