Watching You

INTRO: VERSE I: Drivin’ through town just my boy and me With a happy meal in his booster seat Knowin’ that he couldn’t 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 four letter word It started with S and I was concerned So I said, son, now where’d you learn to talk like that He said, I’ve been watching you, dad ain’t that cool I’m 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, we’re just alike, hey, ain’t we dad I want to do everything you do So I’ve been watching you VERSE II: 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 son’s 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 He said, I’ve been watching you, dad ain’t that cool I’m 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 momma’s hand Yeah, we’re just alike, hey, ain’t we dad I want to do everything you do; so I’ve been watching you BRIDGE: With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug Said, my little bear is growin’ up And he said, but when I’m big I’ll still know what to do Chorus: ‘cause I’ve been watching you, dad ain’t that cool I’m your buckaroo’ I want to be like you And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are By then I’ll be strong as superman We’ll be just alike, hey, won’t we dad When I can do everything you do ‘cause I’ve been watchin’ you Chords By Jason Demars
