verse 1 

G 
Wish girls you loved never gave back diamond rings 
             Cadd9            G 
I wish every porch had a swing 
       G 
I wish kids learned to say "sir" and "ma'am", how to shake a hand 
             Cadd9                 G 
I wish every state had a Birmingham 

Pre-Chorus 

D                                     Cadd9 
Wish everybody knew the words to Mama Tried 
D                                            Cadd9 
I wish Monday mornings felt just like Friday nights 

            G 
I wish even cars had truck beds 
          Cadd9 
And every road was named Copperhead 
    Em                D               Cadd9 
And coolers never ran out of cold Bud Light 

       G 
I wish high school home teams never lost 
    Cadd9 
And back road drinking kids never got caught 
           Em               D                  Cadd9 
I wish the price of gas was low and cotton was high 

       Em                D               Cadd9 
I wish honkytonks didn't have no closing time 
                             G 
And I wish grandpas never died 

verse 2 

G 
I wish Sunday's on a creek bank would never end 
             Cadd9 
Wish I could learn to drive again 
G 
I wish the first time, seventeen, she was my everything kiss in a Chevrolet 
Cadd9 
It'd happen every day 

Pre-Chorus 

D                                   Cadd9 
I wish everybody overseas was gonna make it home 
D                                    Cadd9 
I wish Country music still played on Country radio 

            G 
I wish even cars had truck beds 
          Cadd9 
And every road was named Copperhead 
    Em                D               Cadd9 
And coolers never run out of cold Bud Light 

       G 
I wish high school home teams never lost 
    Cadd9 
And back road drinking kids never got caught 
           Em               D                  Cadd9 
I wish the price of gas was low and cotton was high 

       Em                D               Cadd9 
I wish honkytonks didn't have no closing time 
                           Cadd9 
And I wish grandpas never died 

                        G 
I wish grandpas never died 

Bridge 

Em               D                  Cadd9 
I wish good dogs never got grey and old 

I wish farms never got sold 


            G 
I wish even cars had truck beds 
          Cadd9 
And every road was named Copperhead 
    Em                D               Cadd9 
And coolers never run out of cold Bud Light 

       G 
I wish high school home teams never lost 
    Cadd9 
And back road drinking kids never got caught 
           Em               D                  Cadd9 
I wish the price of gas was low and cotton was high 

       Em                D               Cadd9 
I wish honkytonks didn't have no closing time
