I wish girls you love never
gave back diamond rings
I wish every porch had a swing
Wish kids still learn to say
sir and ma'am
How to shake a hand
I wish every state
had a Birmingham
I wish everybody knew
all the words to Mama Tried
I wish Monday mornings
felt just like Friday nights
And I wish even cars had
truck beds
And every road was named
Copperhead
And coolers never run out
of cold Bud Light
And I wish high school
home teams never lost
And back road drinkin' kids
never got caught
I wish the price of gas was low
And cotton was high
I wish honky-tonks didn't
have no closing time
And I wish grandpas
never died
I wish Sundays on a creek
bank would never end
Wish I could learn to
drive again
Wish the first time seventeen
She was my everything
Kiss in a Chevrolet could
happen every day
I wish everybody overseas
was gonna make it home
I wish Country music still
got played on Country radio
And I wish even cars had
truck beds
And every road was named
Copperhead
And coolers never run out
of cold Bud Light
And I wish high school
home teams never lost
And back road drinkin' kids
never got caught
I wish the price of gas was low
And cotton was high
I wish honky-tonks didn't
have no closing time
And I wish grandpas
never died
Never died
And I wish good dogs
never got grey and old
I wish farms never got sold
And I wish even cars had
truck beds
And every road was named
Copperhead
And coolers never run out
of cold Bud Light
And I wish high school
home teams never lost
And back road drinkin' kids
never got caught
I wish the price of gas was low
And cotton was high
I wish honky-tonks didn't
have no closing time
And I wish grandpas
never died
I wish grandpas never died
