The Steel Woods

The Steel Woods are an American country music group from Nashville, Tennessee exploring a variety of genres - stringing together lyrically strong songs, a big sound and well-put together harmonies, they have created a new sound that is being dubbed "Smart Southern Rock." A quartet of Southern rock traditionalists from Nashville, The Steel Woods lay claim to the sound pioneered by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Like Skynyrd, The Steel Woods balance heavy blues-rock with Southern poetry, and they add a bit of plainspoken outlaw country to the mix, as evidenced on their 2017 debut, Straw in the Wind.Though their style is unapologetically Southern Rock and Rock, just pull back the layers to find lyrics that feature passionate storytelling and messages that resonate.

I wish a buck was still silver
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?

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
