| He wouldn’t have been my first choice
|
| If I’d had one when I met him
|
| He looked like he’d be moody
|
| The kind that let little things upset him
|
| But fate don’t ask opinions
|
| It just gives you what you need
|
| So we headed home in that ol' truck
|
| And I let him ride right next to me
|
| It didn’t take me very long
|
| You see I had my work cut-out
|
| He’d just had his heart broken
|
| So we spent a lot of time there on that couch
|
| He talked to me for hours
|
| And oh the stories I could tell
|
| But I guess sometimes just to listen
|
| Is all a friend can do to help
|
| Raising humans ain’t as easy as it looks
|
| Raising humans don’t come with instruction books
|
| You just love them and you trust 'em
|
| And sometimes let 'em think they know it all
|
| I think raising humans is the reason God made all us dogs
|
| I knew he was gonna take it hard
|
| When he had to let me go
|
| But I was tired and it was time
|
| I tried my best to let him know
|
| And when the doctor said «You ready?»
|
| For the first time in years I saw him pray
|
| I just closed my eyes and drifted off
|
| I knew he was gonna be okay
|
| Raising humans ain’t as easy as it looks
|
| Raising humans don’t come with instruction books
|
| You just love them and you trust 'em
|
| And sometimes let 'em think they know it all
|
| I think raising humans is the reason God made all us dogs
