He Didn't Have To Be by Brad Paisley

When a (1)____________ mom (2)________ out on a date with
Somebody new
It always (3)__________ up feeling (4)________ like
A job interview
My momma (5)________ to wonder
If she'd (6)________ meet someone
Who wouldn't find out about me and then
Turn around and run

I met the man I (7)________ my dad
When I was five years old
He took my mom out to a movie
And for once I got to go

A few months later, I remember
Lying there in bed
I (8)__________________ him pop the question
And I prayed that she'd say yes
And then, all of a sudden
(Oh) it seemed so strange to me
How we went (9)________ 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 (10)________ he didn't (11)________ to be

I met the girl that's now my wife
About three years ago
We had the perfect (12)________________ but
We wanted (13)__________________ more
Now (14)________ I stand surrounded by our family and friends
Crowded 'round the nursery window
As they (15)__________ the baby in
And now, all of a sudden
(Oh) it seems so strange to me
How we've gone (16)________ something's
Missing to a family
Looking through the glass, I think
About the man that's standing (17)________ to me

And I hope I'm at least half the dad
That he didn't (18)________ to be

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

Is I hope I'm at least
Half the dad (19)________ he didn't (20)________ to be

Because he didn't (21)________ to be

You (22)________ he didn't have to be
