Lyrics

Our love is unconditional, we knew it from the start
I see it in your eyes, you can feel it from my heart
From here on after let’s stay the way we are right now
And share all the love and laughter that a lifetime will allow
I cross my heart and promise to
Give all I’ve got to give to make all your dreams come true
In all the world you’ll never find a love as true as mine
You will always be the miracle that makes my life complete
And as long as there’s a breath in me
I’ll make yours just as sweet
As we look into the future, it’s as far as we can see
So let’s make each tomorrow be the best that it can be
I cross my heart and promise to
Give all I’ve got to give to make all your dreams come true
In all the world you’ll never find, a love as true as mine
And if along the way we find a day it starts to storm
You’ve got the promise of my love to keep you warm
In all the world you’ll never find, a love as true as mine
A love as true as mine

Merle Haggard’s poignant 1982 classic “Are the Good Times Really Over (I Wish a Buck Was Still Silver)” stands as one of country music’s most powerful social commentaries, capturing a moment when America was questioning its direction amid economic uncertainty, cultural shifts, and political disillusionment; released as the third single from his album “Big City,” the song resonated deeply with listeners, climbing to #2 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart and topping Canada’s RPM Country Tracks chart as Haggard masterfully articulated the anxieties of a generation longing for simpler times; what makes this track particularly compelling is Haggard’s unflinching examination of American society’s transformation, from economic concerns about inflation to observations about changing social values, all delivered through his authentic, world-weary voice that carries the weight of genuine concern rather than mere nostalgia; the song’s genius lies in its final verse, where Haggard pivots from lamentation to a call for action and hope, suggesting that “the best of the free life is still yet to come” – a powerful reminder that even in challenging times, optimism remains essential; decades later, this thoughtful reflection on American identity continues to resonate with audiences across political and generational divides, cementing Haggard’s legacy as not just a country music legend but as one of America’s most insightful cultural observers whose work transcends time and speaks to the enduring questions about progress, values, and national identity that we still grapple with today.

Brooks & Dunn’s “Believe” stands as one of country music’s most powerful spiritual narratives, telling the story of Old Man Wrigley who maintains unwavering faith despite losing his wife and son; released in October 2005 as the second single from their album “Hillbilly Deluxe,” this acoustic ballad featuring Ronnie Dunn’s soul-stirring vocals went on to win three major CMA awards in 2006 (Single of the Year, Song of the Year, and Music Video of the Year) and was later ranked #33 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 40 Saddest Country Songs of All Time; co-written by Dunn and Craig Wiseman, the song’s emotional impact comes from its authentic portrayal of faith as a source of comfort in the face of devastating loss, with lyrics like “I’ll see my wife and son in just a little while” revealing how the elderly man’s belief in reunion beyond death sustains him; the song’s universal themes have resonated so deeply that it’s been covered by artists across genres, including Jennifer Hudson who fell in love with it after performing it at Brooks & Dunn’s farewell concert and more recently by Kane Brown and Jelly Roll in separate collaborations with the duo; what makes “Believe” truly special is how it avoids preaching while still delivering a profound message about faith, allowing listeners of all backgrounds to connect with its story of hope, loss, and the human capacity to find meaning even in life’s most difficult moments.
