I Wish I Could Have Been There

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 Makin' a living on the road somewhere a thousand miles away It was a happy day, but kinda' sad And I wish I coulda' been there Yea I wish I coulda' been there I wish I coulda been there for that Little Bobby hit his first home run He was the hero of the home town crowd Two to one, it was a winning run Everybody was cheering loud And mommy she was smilin' 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 kinda' sad And I wish I coulda' been there Yea I wish I coulda' been there I wish I coulda' been there for that
