When our baby Kate was born it was the biggest day of my life

C G

Lying there little bows in her hair in the loving arms of my wife

Am G F

I was the proudest papa in the U.S.A.

C G

Making a living on the road somewhere a thousand miles away

Am G F C G

It was a happy day, but kinda sad. I wish I coulda been there

Am F G C

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 hometown

crowd

C G

2 to 1 it was the winning run, everybody was cheering loud

Am G F

And mama she was smiling saying, he's a chip off of the old block

C G

But I was on the road somewhere between Memphis and Little Rock

Am G F C G

It was a happy day, but kinda sad. I wish I coulda been there

Am F G C

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

C G

They stay in touch, we're proud of the two good kids we raised

I wish they coulda been there, I wish they coulda been there for that.
