From:
Drivin through town just my boy and me
With a Happy Meal in his booster seat
Knowin that he couldnt have the toy til his nuggets were gone.
A green traffic light turned straight to red
I hit my brakes and mumbled under my breath.
His fries went a flyin, and his orange drink covered his lap
Well, then my 4 year old said a 4 letter word
It started with S and I was concerned
So I said, Son, now whered you learn to talk like that?
Chorus:
He said, Ive been watching you, dad aint that kool?
Im your buckaroo, I want to be like you.
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are.
We got cowboy boots and camo pants
Yeah, were just alike, hey, aint we dad
I want to do everything you do.
So Ive been watching you.
We got back home and I went to the barn
I bowed my head and I prayed real hard
Said, Lord, please help me help my stupid self.
Just this side of bedtime later that night
Turnin on my sons Scooby-doo nightlight.
He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees.
He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands
Spoke to God like he was talkin to a friend.
And I said, Son, now where'd you learn to pray like that?
Chorus:
He said, Ive been watching you, dad aint that kool?
Im your buckaroo; I want to be like you.
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are.
We like fixin things and holding momas hand
Yeah, were just alike, hey, aint we dad.
I want to do everything you do; so Ive been watching you.
With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug.
Said, My little bear is growin up.
And he said, But when Im big Ill still know what to do.
Chorus:
?cause Ive been watching you, dad aint that kool?
Im your buckaroo; I want to be like you.
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are.
By then Ill be strong as superman
Well be just alike, hey, wont we dad
When I can do everything you do.
cause Ive been watchin you.
