He Didn't Have to Be [In the Style of Brad Paisley [00:00:01]
When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new[00:00:15]
It always winds up feeling more like a job interview[00:00:22]
My mama used to wonder[00:00:28]
If she'd ever meet someone[00:00:31]
Who wouldn't find out about me[00:00:35]
And then turn around and run[00:00:38]
I met the man I call my dad[00:00:43]
When I was five years old[00:00:47]
He took my mom out to a movie[00:00:49]
And for once I got to go[00:00:53]
A few months later[00:00:57]
I remember lying there in bed[00:00:58]
I overheard him pop the question[00:01:02]
And I prayed that she'd say yes[00:01:06]
And then all of a sudden[00:01:09]
Ah it seemed so strange to me[00:01:12]
How we went from something's missing[00:01:16]
To a family[00:01:19]
Lookin' back all I can say[00:01:24]
About all the things he did for me[00:01:26]
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad[00:01:36]
That he didn't have to be[00:01:41]
I met the girl who's now[00:01:50]
My wife about three years ago[00:01:52]
We had the perfect marriage[00:01:56]
But we wanted somethin' more[00:01:59]
Now here I stand surrounded[00:02:03]
By our family and friends[00:02:05]
Crowded 'round the nursery window[00:02:09]
As they bring the baby in[00:02:12]
And then all of a sudden[00:02:15]
Ah it seemed so strange to me[00:02:19]
How we went from something's missing[00:02:22]
To a family[00:02:25]
Lookin' through the glass[00:02:30]
I think about the man[00:02:31]
That's standing next to me[00:02:34]
And I hope I'm at least half the dad[00:02:43]
That he didn't have to be[00:02:47]
Lookin' back all I can say[00:03:03]
About all the things he did for me[00:03:06]
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad[00:03:16]
That he didn't have to be[00:03:20]
'Cause he didn't have to be[00:03:27]
That he didn't have to be[00:03:34]
