I Wish Grandpas Never Died

I wish girls you love 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 mornings felt just like Friday nights
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 backroad drinking kids never got caught
And I wish the price of gas was lower and cotton was high
I wish honkeytonks 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, 17, 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
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 backroad drinking kids never got caught
And I wish the price of gas was lower and cotton was high
I wish honkeytonks didn't have no closing time
And I wish grandpas never died
Never died
And I wish good dogs never got gray and old
I wish farms never got sold
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 backroad drinking kids never got caught
And I wish the price of gas was lower and cotton was high
And I wish honkeytonks didn't have no closing time
And I wish grandpas never died
I wish grandpas never died
