I wish girls you loved never gave back diamond rings
I wish every porch had a swing
I wish kids still learned to say sir and ma'am
Had a shake of 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
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 drinking 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
And I wish Sundays on a creek bank would never end
I wish I could learn to drive again
I wish the first time seventeen she was my everything
Kids and 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
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 drinking 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
And I wish grandpas never died
And I wish good dogs never got gray and old
And I wish farms never got sold
And I wish even cars had truck beds
Every road was named Copperhead
And coolers never run out of cold Bud Light
And I wish high school home teams never lost
And I wish good dogs never got gray and old
And back road drinking 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
And I wish the price of gas was low and cotton was high
