When our baby Kate was born, it was the biggest day of my life
Lyin' there, little bows in her hair, in the lovin' arms of my wife
I was the proudest papa in the U.S.A.
Makin' a living on the road somewhere a thousand miles away
It was a happy day, but kinda sad
I wish I could've been there,
I wish I could've been there
I wish I could've been there for that
