[Verse 1]
I wish grandpas never died
And all dogs went to heaven
I wish cotton didn't itch
And I had a better aim
I wish every night was Friday
And every day was Sunday
I wish grandpas never died
And we all lived in Alabama
[Chorus]
I wish tailgates were as cold
As the mountains on a Coors Light can
I wish a Sunday school teacher's voice
Was the only thing that ever heard me sin
I wish my granddaddy'd never got sick
And taken that turn for the worst
I wish grandpas never died
I wish grandpas never died
[Verse 2]
I wish I had a pair of boots
That I didn't have to break in
And a truck that got good gas
On a Georgia county road
I wish the sun stayed up till midnight
And the stars shined down on morning
I wish grandpas never died
And we all lived in Alabama
[Chorus]
I wish tailgates were as cold
As the mountains on a Coors Light can
I wish a Sunday school teacher's voice
Was the only thing that ever heard me sin
I wish my granddaddy'd never got sick
And taken that turn for the worst
I wish grandpas never died
I wish grandpas never died
[Bridge]
Well we were cut from the same cloth
I was the young blood and he was the old stock
He taught me everything about life and love
And to bow my head
And I'd give anything to hear him say
"Son I'm proud of you"
One more time again
[Outro]
I wish grandpas never died
I wish grandpas never died
I wish grandpas never died
And we all lived in Alabama
