Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wish girls you loved never gave back diamond rings
I wish every porch had a swing
[Instrumental]
Wish kids still learned to say "sir" and "ma'am", how to shake a hand
I wish every state had a Birmingham
[PreChorus]
I wish everybody knew all the words to "Mama Tried"
I wish Monday mornings felt just like Friday nights
[Chorus]
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 closing time
And I wish grandpas never died
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
I wish everybody overseas was gonna make it home
I wish Country music still got played on Country radio
[Chorus]
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 closing time
And I wish grandpas never died
I wish grandpas never died
[Bridge]
And I wish good dogs never got grey and old
I wish farms never got sold
[Chorus]
And I wish even cars had truck beds
And every road was named Copperhead
And coolers never run out of cold Bud Light
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 closing time
And I wish grandpas never died
I wish grandpas never died
