I Wish I Could Have Been There (In the Style of John Anderson) (Performance Track with Demonstration Vocals) - Done Again

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 could been there

I wish I could been there

I wish I could 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 could been there

I wish I could been there

I wish I could 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
