I wish girls you loved never gave back diamond rings I wish every porch had a swing Wish kids still learned 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 mornin's 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 And I wish the price of gas was low and cotton was high I wish honky-tonks didn't have no closin' time And I wish grandpas never died I wish Sunday's 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 And I wish the price of gas was low and cotton was high And 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 And I wish the price of gas was low and cotton was high And I wish honky-tonks didn't have no closing time And I wish grandpas never died I wish grandpas never died
