I Wish Grandpas Never Died Songtext
von Riley Green

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

I wish everybody knew all the words to "Mama Tried"
I wish Monday mornin's felt just like Friday nights

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 closin' time
And I wish grandpas never died

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


I wish everybody overseas was gonna make it home
I wish country music still got played on Country radio

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
And I wish honky-tonks didn't have no closing time
And I wish grandpas never died
Never died

And I wish good dogs never got grey and old
I wish farms never got sold


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
And I wish honky-tonks didn't have no closing time
And I wish grandpas never died
I wish grandpas never died
