I Wish I Could Have Been There - John Anderson

John Anderson "I Wish I Could Have Been There" Released: 1993 Album: Solid Ground Lyrics: 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 I wish I coulda' been there 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 I wish I coulda' been there I wish I coulda' been there I wish I coulda' 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 are celebrating our twenty fifth 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 have been there I wish we could have been there I wish we could have been there for that It was a happy day, but kinda' sad I wish they could have been there I wish they could have been there I wish they could have been there, for that
