Intro
G  G/F#  Em7  C  twice

       G                     G/F#             Em7          C                 G      G/F#  Em7   C
I wish girls you loved never gave back diamond rings, I wish every porch had a swing
     G                     G/F#                         Em7                 C                 G          G/F#  Em7  C 
Wish kids still learned to say "sir" and "ma'am", how to shake a hand, I wish every state had a Birmingham
       D                                    C
I wish everybody knew all the words to Mama Tried
       D                                     C
I wish Monday mornings felt just like Friday nights


Chorus:
                G  
And I wish even cars had truck beds
          C  
And every road was named Copperhead
    Em7               D               C 
And coolers never run out of cold Bud Light
           G 
And I wish high school home teams never lost
    C
And back road drinkin' kids never got caught
               Em7              D                  C
And I wish the price of gas was low and cotton was high
       Em7                D               C
I wish honky tonks didn't have no closing time
                          G    G/F#  Em7   C
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

Chorus 


Solo


Bridge:
      Em7            D                  C    
And I wish good dogs never got grey and old
       C 
I wish farms never got sold


Chorus
