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 rollin' 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 rollin' 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 rollin' 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
Merle Ronald Haggard (1937-2016) was one of the most influential singer-songwriters in American country music. Born in Bakersfield, California, Haggard began his musical career in the 1950s, influenced by artists like Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell. In 1966, with his album "Sing Me Back Home", he achieved national success, solidifying his traditional country style with a touch of rockabilly and folk.

Among his most famous songs are "Okie from Muskogee", "Mama Tried", "The Fightin' Side of Me" and "I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink".
