Need Help With Lyrics To A Country Song?!
Question: I heard a country song on the radio the other day and I cannot place the title or the artist, I was hoping that someone here could help me.
The song has a man singing about how he was not there for the birth of his daughter cause he was in the serrvice or something like that. I think its basically a song about a guy in the service singing to his family, etc etc
I hope this makes some kinda sense.

ummm the only one I can think of is 'If your reading this' which is about a soldier killed at war. It says 'I wont be there to see the birth of our baby girl, I hope she looks like you and fights like me' There may be more.... I should know because my husband missed my entire pregnancy (he was gone before I found out) until my daughter was 2 months old,including birth. but thats the only one I can think of right now.
There's an older song about a man missing the birth of his daughter but not because he was in the service. He was a truck driver. It might be What your thinking of.
I Wish I Could Have Been There By John Anderson
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
