[Verse 1]
E E7
I wish a buck was still silver, like it was back when the country
A B7 E
was strong Back before Elvis, before the Vietnam War came along. Before the
E7 A
Beatles and yesterday, when a man could still work and still would. Is the
B7 E
best of the free life behind us now, are the good times really over for good?
[Chorus 1]
E A
Are we rolling down hill, like a snow ball headed for hell with
B7 E
no kind of chance for the flag or the Liberty Bell? I wish a Ford and a Chevy
A B7
would still last ten years like they should. Is the best of the free life behind us
E
now, are the good times really over for good?
[Verse 2]
E A
I wish a coke was still cola and a joint was a bad place to be. I
B7 E
was back before Trudeau wore rainbow socks on TV. Before microwave ovens when a
E7 A B7
girl could still cook and still would. Is the best of the free life behind us
E
now, are the good times really over for good?
[Chorus 2]
E A B7
Stop rolling downhill like a snow ball headed for Hell. Stand up for
E
the flag and let’s all ring the Liberty bell. Let’s make a Ford and a Chevy
A
last ten years like they should. Cause the best of the free life
B7 E
is still yet to come and the good times ain't really over for good.

Absolutely perfect reference

I was going to ask why a Canadian reference, when it's still loaded with uniquely American references? But I read it through and see what you did there. It's funny, and it updates the song from 1982 to present day!
