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 diеd

[Verse 2]

I wish Sunday's on a creek bank would never end

Wish I could lеarn 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
