I Wish Grandpas Never Died (Live From Phenix City, Alabama) Lyrics by Riley Green
2019
[Spoken Intro] There's a lot of cameras on and extra lights and stuff out here, and uh, we were talking' about shooing a music video for my next single which is "I Wish Grandpas Never Died". And some of the folks at my record label were talking about what kind of video we need to shoot, and I said: "You know, let's go down to Phenix City and let all these rednecks sing along with us." So if y'all don't mind, I'ma let y'all be in my music video, we'll do this song one more time It's uh, it's been really exciting to see, to see the re-, the, the reaction to this song, a lot of folks have a lot of uh, a lot of feelings that, that meet mine on a song like this. And, uh, like I said I wrote this song about my two grandaddy's, my granddaddy Lyndon and my grandaddy Buford and my two grandmothers that were married to those two great gentlemen are sitting over here on the side, this might be one of the first times and last time they get to hear me play this song before 'em, so thank y'all so much for letting me be a part of this If y'all think y'all can send me through the night I don't mind you out singing me here on this one right here Alright let's try it one time [Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] I wish everybody knew all the words to Mama Tried I wish Monday mornings felt just like Friday nights [Chorus] 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 closing time And I wish grandpas never died [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] I wish everybody overseas was gonna make it home I wish Country music still got played on Country radio [Chorus] 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 closing time And I wish grandpas never died Never died [Bridge] And I wish good dogs never got grey and old I wish farms never got sold [Chorus] And I wish even cars had truck beds And every road was named Copperhead And coolers never run out of cold Bud Light 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 closing time And I wish grandpas never died I wish grandpas never died
