(Verse 1)
I wish girls would't lead you on
And tell you the truth
I wish Sundays lasted three days
So I could spend them with you
And I wish hometowns never changed
Just like in your youth
And I wish I met B.B.King
So I could sing the blues
(Chorus)
And I wish babies didn't grow so fast
And I lived every moment as my last
And I made more of an effort to make my family proud
And I wish Friday nights never end
Health and luck to all my friends
Country music forever be loud
And I wish Mum's never cried
And I wished Dad's never died
(Verse 2)
And I wish bars would stay opеn
Past two am
And no such thing as hangovers
So we can do it again
And I wish for no discrimination
For the colour of your skin
And for pеople to love who they want to love
Either woman or man
(Chorus)
And I wish babies didn't grow so fast
And I lived every moment as my last
And I made more of an effort to make my family proud
And I wish Friday nights never end
Health and luck to all my friends
Country music forever be loud
And I wish Mum's never cried
And I wished Dad's never died
(Verse 3)
And I wish cancer didn't exist
So we could get back our lives
And I wish I could hear your old ford
Coming in the drive
(Chorus)
And I wish babies didn't grow so fast
And I lived every moment as my last
And I made more of an effort to make my family proud
And I wish Friday nights never end
Health and luck to all my friends
Country music forever be loud
And I wish Mum's never cried
And I wished Dad's never died
I wish girls would't lead you on
And tell you the truth
I wish Sundays lasted three days
So I could spend them with you
And I wish hometowns never changed
Just like in your youth
And I wish I met B.B.King
So I could sing the blues
(Chorus)
And I wish babies didn't grow so fast
And I lived every moment as my last
And I made more of an effort to make my family proud
And I wish Friday nights never end
Health and luck to all my friends
Country music forever be loud
And I wish Mum's never cried
And I wished Dad's never died
(Verse 2)
And I wish bars would stay opеn
Past two am
And no such thing as hangovers
So we can do it again
And I wish for no discrimination
For the colour of your skin
And for pеople to love who they want to love
Either woman or man
(Chorus)
And I wish babies didn't grow so fast
And I lived every moment as my last
And I made more of an effort to make my family proud
And I wish Friday nights never end
Health and luck to all my friends
Country music forever be loud
And I wish Mum's never cried
And I wished Dad's never died
(Verse 3)
And I wish cancer didn't exist
So we could get back our lives
And I wish I could hear your old ford
Coming in the drive
(Chorus)
And I wish babies didn't grow so fast
And I lived every moment as my last
And I made more of an effort to make my family proud
And I wish Friday nights never end
Health and luck to all my friends
Country music forever be loud
And I wish Mum's never cried
And I wished Dad's never died
