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"

and 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
