(Verse1)
[D]Wish girls you loved never gave back diamond rings
I wish every [Gadd9]porch had a [D]swing
I wish [D]kids still learned to
say "sir" and "ma'am", how to shake a hand
I wish every [Gadd9]state had a [D]Birmingham
(Pre-chorus)
[A]Wish everybody knew all the words to Mama [Gadd9]Tried
[A]I wish Monday mornings felt just like Friday [Gadd9]nights
(Chorus)
I wish even [D]cars had truck beds
And every [Gadd9]road was named Copperhead
And [Bm]coolers never ran [A]out of cold Bud [Gadd9]Light
I wish [D]high school home teams never lost
And [Gadd9]back road drinking kids never got caught
I wish the [Bm]price of gas was [A]low and cotton was [Gadd9]high
I wish [Bm]honkytonks didn't [A]have no closing [Gadd9]time
And I wish grandpas never [D]died
(Verse2)
[D]I wish Sundays on a creek bank would never end
Wish I could [Gadd9]learn to drive again
[D]I wish the first time, seventeen, she
was my everything kiss in a Chevrolet
[Gadd9]It'd happen every day
(Pre-chorus)
[A]I wish everybody overseas was gonna [Gadd9]make it home
[A]I wish Country music still played on [Gadd9]Country radio
(Chorus)
I wish even [D]cars had truck beds
And every [Gadd9]road was named Copperhead
And [Bm]coolers never run [A]out of cold Bud [Gadd9]Light
I wish [D]high school home teams never lost
And [Gadd9]back road drinking kids never got caught
I wish the [Bm]price of gas was [A]low and cotton was [Gadd9]high
I wish [Bm]honkytonks didn't [A]have no closing [Gadd9]time
And I wish grandpas never [Gadd9]die
I wish grandpas never [D]died
(Bridge)
[Bm]I wish good dogs [A]never got grey and [Gadd9]old
I wish farms never got sold
(Chorus)
I wish even [D]cars had truck beds
And every [Gadd9]road was named Copperhead
And [Bm]coolers never run [A]out of cold Bud [Gadd9]Light
I wish [D]high school home teams never lost
And [Gadd9]back road drinking kids never got caught
I wish the [Bm]price of gas was [A]low and cotton was [Gadd9]high
I wish [Bm]honkytonks didn't [A]have no closing [Gadd9]time
And I wish grandpas never [D]died
