I Wish Grandpas Never Died

[Verse 1] I wish girls you loved 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 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
