I Wish I Could Have Been There (1994)
When our baby Kate was born it was the biggest day of my life
Lying there little bows in her hair in the loving arms of my wife
I was the proudest papa in the USA
Making a living on the road somewhere a thousand miles away
It was a happy day but kind-a sad
I wish I could-a been there
I wish I could-a been there
I wish I could-a been there for that
Little Bobby hit his first home run he was the hero of the hometown crowd
Two to one it was the winning run, everybody was cheering loud
And mama she was smiling saying, he's a chip off of the old block
But I was on the road somewhere between Memphis and Little Rock
It was a happy day, but kind-a sad
I wish I could-a been there
I wish I could-a been there
I wish I could-a been there for that
Now Bobby and Kate are all grown up and moved away
They stay in touch, we're proud of the two good kids we raised
And it's hard to believe we're 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-a been there
I wish we could-a been there
I wish we could-a been there for that
It was a happy day, but kind-a sad
I wish they could-a been there
I wish they could-a been there
I wish they could-a been there for that
