Wish I Could've Been There |
| 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 |
