Are the Good Times Really Over (I Wish a Buck Was Still Silver)

I wish a buck was still silver
And it was back when country was strong
Back before Elvis and 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 rollin’ down hill like a snowball headed for hell
With no kind of 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
And 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’ down hill like a snowball headed for hell
With no kind of 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?

You Look So Good in Love Lyrics

George Strait

Oh, how you sparkle
And oh, how you shine
The flush on your cheeks
Is more than the wine

And he must do something
That I didn’t do
Whatever he’s doing
It looks good on you

You look so good in love
You want him
That’s easy to see
You look so good in love
I wish you still wanted me

He must have stolen
Some stars from the sky
And gave them to you
To wear in your eyes

I had my chances
But I set you free
And now I wonder
Why I couldn’t see

You look so good in love
You want him
That’s easy to see
You look so good in love
I wish you still wanted me

Darling I’ve wasted a lot of years not seeing the real you
But tonight your beauty is shining through
And I never took the time to let you know
So before he takes you away please let me say

You look so good in love
You want him
That’s easy to see
You look so good in love
I wish you still wanted me
You look so good in love
You want him
That’s easy to see
You look so good in love
