Wish girls you loved never gave back diamond rings
             C9            G  D/F#  Em7  C9
I wish every porch had a swing
        G                         D/F#                      Em7
I wish kids still learned to say "sir" and "ma'am", how to shake a hand

I wish every state had a Birmingham

I wish Monday mornings felt just like Friday nights

            G
I wish even cars had truck beds
          C9
And every road was named Copperhead
    Em                D/F#             C9
And coolers never ran out of cold Bud Light
 
        G
I wish high school home teams never lost
    C9
And back road drinking kids never got caught
           Em7              D/F#                C9
I wish the price of gas was low and cotton was high
 
       Em7                D/F#              C9
I wish honkytonks didn't have no closing time
                             G  D/F#  Em7  C9

I wish Sundays on a creek bank would never end
             C9               G  D/F#  Em7  C9
Wish I could learn to drive again
              G                     D/F#                 Em7
I wish the first time, seventeen, she was my everything kiss in a Chevrolet
C9                G  D/F#  Em7  C9
It'd happen every day
 
       D                                   C9
I wish everybody overseas was gonna make it home
       D                                 C9
I wish Country music still got played on Country radio
  
            G
