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 kind of chance for the flag or the Liberty Bell
Wish a Ford and a Chevy could still last ten years like they should

Are the good times really over for good?
