| When our baby Kate was born
|
| It was the biggest day of my life
|
| Lying there with bows in her hair
|
| In the loving arms of my wife
|
| I was the proudest papa in the U.S.A.
|
| Making a livin' on the road somewhere
|
| A thousand miles away
|
| It was a happy day but kinda sad
|
| I wish I could’ve been there
|
| I wish I could’ve been there
|
| I wish I could’ve been there for that
|
| Little Bobby hit his first home run
|
| He was the hero of the hometown crowd
|
| 2 to 1 it was a winning run
|
| Everybody was cheering loud
|
| And mama she was smiling
|
| Saying he’s a chip off, off the old block
|
| But I was on the road somewhere
|
| Between Memphis and Little Rock
|
| It was a happy day but kinda sad
|
| I wish I could’ve been there
|
| I wish I could’ve been there
|
| I wish I could’ve been there for that
|
| Now Bobby and Kate are all grown up
|
| And moved away they stayed in touch
|
| We’re proud of the two good kids we raised
|
| And it’s hard to believe we are celebrating our 25th year today
|
| This party’s nice but the kids aren’t here
|
| At least they called to say
|
| Congratulations mom and dad
|
| I wish we could’ve been there
|
| I wish we could’ve been there
|
| I wish we could’ve been there for that
|
| It was a happy day but kinda sad
|
| I wish they could’ve been there
|
| I wish they could’ve been there
|
| I wish they could’ve been there for that |
