In a world of constant change, Riley Green's heartfelt lyrics are a nostalgic longing for simpler times, when life was less complicated and values more traditional. He yearns for the days when respect was taught, love was enduring, and country music filled the airwaves. The recurring line "I wish grandpas never died," is especially poignant as it signifies the loss of wisdom and guidance that comes with age. His grandpa represents not just a beloved family member but also an era that has passed. Through his wishes, Green paints a picture of an idealized past where everything from high school victories to cold Bud Lights were guaranteed. This song is an ode to the old times and a call for preserving traditions in a rapidly evolving world.
I Wish Grandpas Never Died
Lyrics
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
I wish everybody knew all the words to Mama Tried
I wish Monday mornings felt just like Friday nights
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
I wish Sundays 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
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
And I wish good dogs never got grey and old
I wish farms never got sold
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
