Raising Humans by Easton Corbin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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 think raising humans is the reason God made all us dogs
