Raising Humans
He wouldn't have 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 headed home in that old truck
I let him ride right next to me
It didn't take me very long
To 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'd talk to me for hours
And lord, 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 'em and you trust them
And sometimes let 'em think they know it all
But I think raising humans
Is the reason God made all those 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 'em and you trust them
And sometimes let 'em think they know it all
But I think raising humans
Is the reason God made all those dogs
But I think raising humans
Is the reason God made all those dogs
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 headed home in that old truck
I let him ride right next to me
It didn't take me very long
To 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'd talk to me for hours
And lord, 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 'em and you trust them
And sometimes let 'em think they know it all
But I think raising humans
Is the reason God made all those dogs
I knew he was gonna take it hard

Raising humans

Raising humans
Don't come with instruction books
You just love 'em and you trust them
And sometimes let 'em think they know it all
But I think raising humans
Is the reason God made all those dogs
But I think raising humans
Is the reason God made all those dogs
