Raising Humans

He wouldn't of been my first choice
If I 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 hit it home in that ol' truck let him ride right next to me

It didn't take me very long, you see I had my work cut-out
He just had his heart broken
So we spent a lot of time there on that couch
He talked to me for hours of all the stories I could tell
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
Just love them and you trust 'em
And sometimes let them 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 would be okay

Raising humans, ain't as easy as it looks
Raising humans, don't come with instruction books
Just love them and you trust 'em
And sometimes let them think they know it all
I think raising humans, is the reason God made all us dogs
I think raising humans, is the reason God made all us dogs
