Artist/Band: Brad Paisley
Lyrics for Song: He Didn't Have To Be
Lyrics for Album: Playlist: The Very Best Of Brad Paisley [2008]



When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new,

It always winds up feeling more like a job interview.

My momma used 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 took my mom out to the 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 somthings missing to a family.

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

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



I met the girl that's now my wife about three years ago.

We had the perfect marriage, but we wanted something more.

Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends,

Crowded around the nursery window as they bring the baby in.



And now all of a sudden, oh it seems so strange to me.

How we'd gone from somthings 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 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 hope I'm at least half the dad he didn't have to be



Yeah, I hope I'm at least half the dad he didn't have to be



Because he didn't have to be



You know he didn't have to be
