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'amHad a shake of handI wish every state had a BirminghamI wish everybody knew all the words to mama triedI wish Monday mornings felt just like Friday nightsAnd I wish even cars had truck bedsEvery road was named CopperheadAnd coolers never run out of cold Bud 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 diedAnd I wish Sundays on a creek bank would never endI wish I could learn to drive againI wish the first time seventeen she was my everythingKids and 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 bedsEvery road was named CopperheadAnd coolers never run out of cold Bud 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 diedAnd I wish grandpas never diedAnd I wish good dogs never got gray and oldAnd I wish farms never got soldAnd I wish even cars had truck bedsEvery road was named CopperheadAnd coolers never run out of cold Bud LightAnd I wish high school home teams never lostAnd I wish good dogs never got gray and oldAnd 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 diedAnd I wish the price of gas was low and cotton was high
