Drivin´ through town just my boy and me
|
With a happy meal in his booster seat
|
Knowin´ that he couldn´t have the toy
|
Till his nuggets were gone
|
|
A green traffic light turned straight to red
|
I hit my breaks
|
And mumbled under my breath
|
His fries went fryin´ [corrected]
|
And his orange drink covered his lap
|
|
Well then my four year old said a four letter word
|
It started with S
|
And I was concerned
|
So I said son
|
Where´d you learn to talk like that
|
|
He said I´d been watchin´ you
|
Dad ain´t that cool
|
I´m your buckaroo
|
I wanna be like you
|
And eat all my food
|
And grow as tall as you are
|
We got cowboy boots
|
And camo pants
|
We´re just alike
|
Now ain´t we dad
|
I wanna do everything you do
|
So I been watchin´ 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
|
|
Then this side of bedtime later that night
|
Turnin´ on my son´s scooby doo night light
|
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´d been watchin´ you
|
Dad ain´t that cool
|
I´m your buckaroo
|
I wanna be like you
|
And eat all my food
|
And grow as tall as you are
|
We like fixin´ things
|
And holdin´ mama´s hand
|
We´re just alike
|
Now ain´t we dad
|
I wanna do everything you do
|
So I been watchin´ you
|
|
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
|
|
Cause I been watchin you
|
Dad ain´t that cool
|
I´m your buckaroo
|
I wanna be like you
|
And eat all my food
|
And grow as tall as you are
|
We got cowboy boots
|
And camel pants
|
We´re just alike
|
Now ain´t we dad
|
I wanna do everything you do
|
So I been watchin´ you
|
|
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 been watchin´ you
|
|
Hey yeah
|
Uh huh
|
|
