Brad Paisley – He Didn't Have To Be Lyrics  Share

From Brad Paisley's album: Who Needs Pictures

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 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 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
Lookin^, back all I can say
About all the things he did for me
Is I hope 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 years ago
We had the perfect marriage but we wanted somethin^, more
Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends
[ He Didn't Have To Be lyrics from

Crowded ^,round the nursery window as they bring the baby in

And now all of a sudden
It seemed so strange to me
How we^,ve gone from something^,s missing
To a family
Lookin^, through the glass I think about the man
That^,s standin^, next to me
And I hope I^,m at least half the dad
That he didn^,t have to be

Lookin^, back all I can say
About all the things he did for me
Is I hope I^,m at least half the dad
That he didn^,t have to be

Yeah, I hope 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
