Hank Williams Jr ~ "Are The Good Times Really Over For Good" 

Lyrics: I wish a buck was still silver It was back when the country was strong Back before Elvis, 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? And are we rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell With no kinda chance for the flag or the liberty bell? 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 It was back before Nixon lied to us all on T.V Before microwave ovens when a girl could still cook, and still would 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 kinda chance for the flag or the liberty bell 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? Stop rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell Stand up for the flag and let's all ring the liberty bell Let's make a Ford and a Chevy That would still last ten years like they should 'Cause the best of the free life is still yet to come And the good times ain't over for good

It’s fitting that this song is being covered by one of the last true living legends. I fear for my children, and the America they’ll be forced to live in if things don’t change. Sad days.

sounds like it was written for Spring 2020

THIS SONG carries more meaning to the people today (June,22) than it ever has before 🇺🇸

This song applies more today than ever. Our American is not the same when I was a little girl. I am now 82 and I’ve seen a great deal, some changes good but the good times are probably long gone.

Stand up for the Flag ! 🇺🇸👍

This world needs more people like Hank n Waylon

With Merle's passing, the good times really are over for good now. Passing away on his birthday only adds to his mystique. R.I.P. Merle Haggard, you will be dearly missed!

DAMMIT ! Bocephus coverin' The Hag ! Pass me a Budweiser and a shot of Jack !

He's 66 and still rolling. my favorite country singer.

Love Mr HankWilliams Jr. ❤❤❤God Bless him.He one of the best

Should be played on every radio station these days to knock some damn sense into people these days! Sad, sad times we live in now. I unfortunately believe the good times are really over for good judging by the path this country is going down.

Merle Haggard would be proud

Hank. You're the very best at being Hank, but Merle is the very best at being Merle. I love you both for being th he very best.

So let's don't roll down no hills and get. All the gold we can AMEN

I'm a huge fan of HANK WILLIAMS JR And Merle Haggard

Merle's greatest song sung by the best ever. We need this in 2019.

Rest in Peace America. It's gone in 2020.…..

One thing's for sure. When Hank Jr takes the stage you never know for sure what you're going to get.

I know why, but still, why isn't this song over 250 million views by now? Got some garbage, good for nothing so called rap or whatever it is out there getting 50 million in a couple months. Maybe, and I'm just 36 years old, we all need to educate our younger generation on what real music sounds like. Get'em Hank Williams Jr.!

You can hear his dad in his voice... The whole world called him Hank... Can you make people feel what you feel inside? Hank did...

what i wouldn't give to have this country back like hes talking

This songs never been more true than now in 2023 our flag will prevail

Merle Haggard wrote and sung this song first. This song is definitely needed today with all the jobs open that nobody wants to work at these days.

Dang!! Chill Bumps and makes you love Hank Jr, Merle and the US even more!!

Here on September 16 2021 hell no the good times are not over we will take back our country God bless the United States of America

Get on your feet people. It’s save this country or it’s lost forever.

We need this song in 2019!

His singing is pretty tuned in for this performance

The best country music singer alive today I seen him back in 80s when he was doing his music CMA sucks when the old one's was gone that kill country music

Hank’s Never done better!! In all his ...... NEVER NO BETTER!!!

This song fits exactly what's going on today in our country if only Mr Merle Haggard would only known how bad it was going to get he thought it was bad when he wrote that song but it's horrible today and Hank you doing a wonderful job singing it my friend

Yes they are!!!!! So much meaning in Merle’s song!

You are a Fucken absolute legend hank. As long as I can listen to you on RU-vid the good times ain’t over. Love you brother.

He has my vote for President

$100 bucks says that GAC didn’t expect this. HWJ makes his own rules and you’ve got to love it

Thank you Jr....Miss you Merle..... one of my favorite songs....If anyone Sings a Merle Song its you Jr....

Hank Williams Jr is country icon

Yes the good times are over for good for some people but not for all people

I seen this man perform in Fl. and im not gonna lie,,this dude brought tears to my eyes,my 3yr old son sittin on my lap and looks back at me wiped my face n says daddy u ok!? ME:son ur watching a real LEGEND/REBEL!! one of the best nights of my life.

Bone Chilling!! Love It!! Hank Jr is the best country music singer songwriter and entertainer of all time hands down!!

There isn't a wannabe in Nashville today with 1/3 the talent of this man.

Hank Jr is my hero

I sang this song to my two sons when they were toddlers. They grew up to be Merle fans. They are 18 and 17 now. A Father’s job is done.

Say what you want about HW jr. By not changing the lyrics it shows respect for Hag (RIP) and his poetic genius. I wish he would do a whole album/tour of Hag songs.

Time to stand up for the country time to come together as a people that still believes in America don’t forget the people that got us here damn the people that don’t understand media has done that god bless everyone thanks

One sexy COWBOY… when the COWBOYS where really COWBOYS !!!! thank You for knowing’ how to Bend them damn strings .. and MOOON THEM BLUES 💕💕💕✊💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🧚‍♂️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😎🤬🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦💥🙏💯💯💯🥳🦞🧚‍♂️♋️

Hank is so talented and good and he speaks the truth. He picked up a lot from his daddy in the short time he was with us. Bless you Hank. I sure wish I was lucky enough to see him in live concert. Love his voice, guitar playing, harmonica.....in the realm of the musical world there isn’t much good ol’ Hank Jr. doesn’t do.

Great song .... one of Merle's best. HWJ does a great job ... a little too slow, but his voice is great on it.

Take this country back.

I waited my whole life to see Hank Williams jr. Finally a week or so ago I got to see him and Billings Montana, as a child I used to steal batteries to put in my little radio hoping I could hear Hank Williams jr. Sing We were homeless my entire childhood now I'm an over-the-road truck driver and I live in Billings Montana and I drove all the way from Twin Falls Idaho to my home in Billings to see him on Friday May 27th I spent $200 for my ticket and $700 for diesel fuel to get there, and I bet the show would have been good if it wasn't for all of the assholes that were standing in front of me while I was trying to see him sing. I just hope someday I get to see him again without all of these people standing in front of me where I couldn't enjoy the concert

What a thundering voice, one of the greats.

I don't care what anybody says, hank Jr is the best country singer of all time. he changed everything, added so much to the genre and he was blessed with a voice that is unmatched by all but a few. merle being one of the few.

🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 I JUST WISH PEOPLE WOULD WAKE UP ⏰ AND REALIZE THIS IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY AND WHAT PEOPLE REALLY HAVE .... WE TAKE FOR GRANTED DAILY ... TODAYS SOCIETY HAS LOST IT......

This song says it all I remember when people had respect and treated each other good now everyone is in for themselves and in too much of a hurry

Yes the good times are really over 😢

Us old boys and girls still have America

Just Hank and a guitar paying tribute to a fellow country friend

This Country shall not fall to Commuism. I have never been in the service. But I am Damn proud! For the people who have! The hero's are the ones laying in Arlington National Cemetery and graves all over the world! This is very true today as it was yesterday. Another song Merle wrote If you don't like it live it. Let my song be a warning to you. God Bless this Country. We will need it in 2020! The silent majority will rise up and vote in Trump for his 2nd term. If we don't stand together this country will Surely fall! Then we will get what we deserve! Keep America great! Shawn

Good song for this days and times All we can do is pray he still answers

My favorite Merle song. Thanks Hank.

This show's a little bit of how much talent that he really has. A fantastic cover!!!

Go on son sing it. Wonderful rendition of a great country song. Merle would have loved this. Hank Jr. One of the last outlaws. RIP Merle,Waylon,johnny. God bless Hank Jr,Willie,Billy Joe Shaver, kris Kristoferson.

A great song for what's going on in our country right now with covid, and riots.

What a legend

I'm 40 yrs old now. Loved you growing up still do. Keep on hank keep on

If this shit don't make you cry, your not human, Hank and Merle were best friends, awesome shit!!! Yeah!

Freedom as we 50 plus is pretty much gone unfortunately 😕

The girl at 1:18.....pure respect from the girl being raised the right way...the only way.

An extraordinary entertainer , whose gifts transcend time and often stifled acceptance .Without doubt the wonderful latter half of the greatest father/ son legacy in country music history . P.C. and Cancel Culture have excluded this Icon from his way overdue Hall of fame recognition (s). Virtue signalling Elites wouldn't know if a bus was parked in their rear ends , unless the passengers alighted .

Very well done Hank. Fan since the '70's.

This song hits Hard!

We lost Jerry Lee so let's start a GoFundMe so Hank lives forever. My heart couldn't bear losing another real legend

Hank needs to be the southern president

A man that speaks the truth

THATS ONE BAD ASS PERFORMANCE HANK WILLIAMS JR

Wow! Still love Hank! He called it like it is these days! Miss the good times!🇺🇸

Hank Williams jr fan club member since 1988 before I knew what Whiskey Bent and Hell bound meant

My problem is there is no way in hell I could sit down at this show
