When our be by

Kate was born
It was the biggest
Day of my life
Lyin' there,
Liiile bows in her hair

In the lovin' arms

Of my wife
I was the proudest

Papa in the U.S.A.
Ma kin' a Iivin'

On the road

Somewhere a
Thousand miles away
It was a happy day

Buf kinda sad
I wish I could've

Been there
Li11le Bobby

Hit his first home run

He was the hero
Of the hometown crowd
Two 10 one,
It was the winnin' run

Everybody was
Chee rin' loud
And Mama, she was
Smilin' sayin'

He's a chip 0H
Of the old block
But I was on the
Road somewhere

Between Memphis
And LiHle Rock
It was a happy day

Buf kinda sad
I wish I could've

Been there
I wish I could've

Been there for that
(Instrumental Break)
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 ifs hard 10 believe

We're celebratin'

Our fweniy-fiHh
Year today
This party's nice,

But the kids

Aren't here
Congratulations

Mom and Dad
I wish we could've

Been there
I wish we could've

Been there for that
It was a happy day

Buf kinda sad
I wish they could've

Been there
I wish they could've

Been there tor that
