I wish girls you loved never gave back diamond ringsI wish every porch had a swingI wish kids still learned to say sir and ma'amHow to shake a handI wish every state had a BirminghamI wish everybody knew all the words to mama triedI wish money mornings felt just like Friday nightsAnd I wish even cars had truck bedsAnd every road was named CopperheadAnd I wish every city had a cityAnd coolers never run out of coal but lightAnd I wish high school home teams never lostAnd back road drinking kids never got caughtAnd I wish the price of gas was low and cotton was highI wish honky tonks didn't have no closing timeAnd I wish grandpas never diedI wish Sundays on the creek bank would never endI wish I could learn to drive againI wish the first time seventeen she was my everythingKissing a Chevrolet could happen every dayI wish everybody overseas was gonna make it homeI wish country music still got played on country radioAnd I wish even cars had truck bedsAnd every road was named CopperheadAnd coolers never run out of coal but lightAnd I wish high school home teams never lostAnd back road drinking kids never got caughtAnd I wish the price of gas was low and cotton was highAnd I wish honky tonks didn't have no closing timeAnd I wish grandpas never diedNever diedAnd I wish good dogs never got gray and oldI wish farms never got soldAnd I wish even cars had truck bedsAnd every road was named CopperheadAnd coolers never run out of coal but lightAnd I wish high school home teams never lostAnd back road drinking kids never got caughtAnd I wish the price of gas was low and cotton was highAnd I wish honky tonks didn't have no closing timeAnd I wish grandpas never diedI wish grandpas never diedCopyright © 2020, New Thinking Allowed Foundation
