I wish a buck was still silver when it was back when the country was [F] strong, back [G] before
Elvis, before the Vietnam War [C] came along, before the Beatles and yesterday, when a man
could still work, [F] he still would.
It's the best of free [G] life behind us now, but the good
time is really over [C] for good.
I wish coke was still cola, and a joint was a bad [F] place
to be.
It was back [G] before Nixon lied to us all [C] on TV, before microwave ovens, when a
girl could still cook and [F] still would.
It's the best of free life [G] behind us now, but the
good time is really over [C] for good.
I'll be rolling down a hill like a snowball headed [F] for hell, with [G] no kind of chance for the flag or the Liberty [C] Bell.
I wish a Ford and a Chevy would still last [G] ten [F] years like they should.
The best of free life [G] behind us now, but the good time is really [C] over for good.
Stop rolling down a hill like a snowball headed [F] for hell.
Thank you, Winner.
[G] Stand up for the flag and let's all ring the [C] Liberty Bell.
Let's make a Ford [Em] and a Chevy [C] that would still last ten years like [F] they should.
It's the best of the free [G] life is still yet to come.
The good time is over [C] for good.
