Letra da Música He Didn’t Have To Be Brad Paisley

When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new
It always winds up being 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 runI 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 over heard him pop the question
And I prayed that she'd say yesAnd 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 beI 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 inAnd 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 beAnd looking back all I can say about all the things he did forme
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad he didn't have to beYeah, I hope I'm at least half the dad he didn't have to beBecause he didn't have to beYou know he didn't have to be
