He Didn't Have To Be by Brad Paisley
When a (1)____________ mom (2)________ out on a date with
Somebody new
It always winds up feeling (3)________ like
A job interview
My momma (4)________ to wonder
If she'd (5)________ 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 (6)________ years old
He took my mom out to a movie
And for once I got to go
A few months later, I remember
Lying (7)__________ in bed
I (8)__________________ him pop the question
And I (9)____________ (10)________ she'd say yes
And then, all of a sudden
(Oh) it (11)____________ so strange to me
How we (12)________ from something's
Missing to a family
Looking back, all I can say about
All the things he did for me
Is I (13)________ I'm at least
Half the dad that he didn't have to be
I met the girl that's now my wife
About three (14)__________ ago
We had the perfect marriage but
We wanted something more
Now here I stand (15)____________________ by our (16)____________ and friends
Crowded 'round the (17)______________ window
As they bring the baby in
And now, all of a sudden
(Oh) it seems so (18)______________ to me
How we've (19)________ 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 half the dad
That he didn't have to be
And looking back all I can say about
All the things he did for me
Is I (21)________ I'm at least
Half the dad that he didn't have to be
Because he didn't have to be
You know he didn't have to be
Somebody new
It always winds up feeling (3)________ like
A job interview
My momma (4)________ to wonder
If she'd (5)________ meet someone
Who wouldn't find out about me and then
