I wish you could have met me on my graduation day I would have waived to you as I walked on through It was one of my proudest days I wish you could have met me when I signed on with uncle Sam My buddies and me were sent overseas We'd never be the same again I wish you could have met me on my wedding day My Midwest pride helped to guide me Through my darkest days Then I'd drive off into the sunset Stay until the stars came out I'd lay there on the hood of my car, man Telling you what it's all about I wish that I would have met you when I was seventeen I would have driven you around with the ragtop down The kings of my hometown I wish that you would have met me When I was wayward and wondering I didn't have a care and love was everywhere Didn't worry about nothing I wish that you would have met me, before I lost my mind My foolish pride and things I tried To keep all locked inside Now as I lay here fading I close my eyes one time I think about us driving on a Saturday night Alright I wish that I would have met you when I was seventeen I would have driven you around with the ragtop down The kings of my hometown
