He Didn't Have To Be by Brad Paisley

When a single mom goes out on a date with
Somebody new
It (1)____________ winds up (2)______________ more like
A job interview
My momma (3)________ to wonder
If she'd ever meet someone
Who wouldn't find out about me and then
Turn around and run

I met the man I call my dad
When I was five years old
He (4)________ my mom out to a movie
And for (5)________ I got to go

A few months later, I remember
Lying (6)__________ in bed
I (7)__________________ him pop the question
And I prayed that she'd say yes
And then, all of a sudden
(Oh) it seemed so (8)______________ to me
How we went from something's
Missing to a family

Looking back, all I can say about
All the things he did for me

Is I hope I'm at least
Half the dad that he didn't have to be

I met the (9)________ that's now my wife
About (10)__________ (11)__________ ago
We had the (12)______________ (13)________________ but
We (14)____________ something more
Now here I stand (15)____________________ by our (16)____________ and friends
Crowded 'round the nursery window
As they bring the (17)________ in
And now, all of a sudden
(Oh) it (18)__________ so (19)______________ to me
How we've gone from something's
Missing to a family
Looking through the glass, I think
About the man that's standing (20)________ to me

And I hope I'm at least (21)________ the dad
That he didn't (22)________ to be

And looking back all I can say about
All the things he did for me

Is I (23)________ I'm at least
Half the dad that he didn't have to be

Because he didn't (24)________ to be

You know he didn't have to be
