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
