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. 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 over for good.

Cette chanson évoque une nostalgie pour des temps plus simples et plus confiants. Elle parle de l'idée que les meilleures années, remplies de liberté et de prospérité, semblent désormais derrière nous. L'artiste se souvient d'une époque où les choses étaient plus authentiques, d'une société où les valeurs et les traditions étaient plus ancrées, et où la vie quotidienne paraissait plus stable. Le contexte de la chanson se situe dans les années 80, à une période marquée par des bouleversements sociaux et politiques. Les références à des événements marquants comme la guerre du Vietnam et les scandales politiques soulignent un sentiment de désillusion et un besoin de retourner à des fondements plus solides. Malgré melancolie, il y a aussi un appel à l'espoir, suggérant que les bons moments ne sont pas complètement perdus et qu'il est toujours possible de reconstruire.
