He Didn't Have To Be by Brad Paisley
When a (1)____________ mom goes out on a date with
Somebody new
It always (2)__________ up (3)______________ (4)________ like
A job interview
My momma used 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)________ (7)__________ old
He (8)________ my mom out to a movie
And for once I got to go
A few months later, I remember
Lying there in bed
I overheard 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 from something's
Missing to a family
Looking back, all I can say about
All the things he did for me
Is I (9)________ 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 (10)__________ ago
We had the (11)______________ marriage but
We wanted something more
Now here I (12)__________ surrounded by our (13)____________ and friends
Crowded 'round the nursery window
As they (14)__________ the baby in
And now, all of a sudden
(Oh) it seems so strange 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 next to me
And I hope I'm at least (15)________ the dad
That he didn't (16)________ 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 (17)________ he didn't have to be
Because he didn't (18)________ to be
You know he didn't (19)________ to be
