Watching You-Ayo

[00:14.96]Drivin ’through town just my boy and me [00:18.58]With a Happy Meal in his booster seat [00:23.98]Knowin ’that he couldn ’t have the toy ‘til his nuggets were gone. [00:30.92]A green traffic light turned straight to red [00:33.04]I hit my brakes and mumbled under my breath. [00:34.98]His fries went a flyin ’,and his orange drink covered his lap [00:39.84]Well,then my four year old said a four letter word [00:45.35]It started with “S ”and I was concerned [00:48.74]So I said,“Son,now where ’d you learn to talk like that?” [00:55.59]Chorus: [00:57.91]He said,'I ’ve been watching you,dad ain ’t that cool? [01:01.08]I ’m your buckaroo,I wanna be like you. [01:02.93]And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are. [01:09.22]We got cowboy boots and camo pants [01:14.23]Yeah,we ’re just alike,hey,ain ’t we dad? [01:19.25]I want to do everything you do. [01:24.51]So I ’ve been watching you.' [01:32.98]We got back home and I went to the barn [01:36.48]I bowed my head and I prayed real hard [01:39.44]Said,“Lord,please help me help my stupid self.” [01:43.70]Just this side of bedtime later that night [01:48.82]Turnin ’on my son ’s Scooby-Doo nightlight. [01:52.23]He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees. [01:59.52]He closed his little eyes,folded his little hands [02:04.36]Spoke to God like he was talkin ’to a friend. [02:08.29]And I said,“Son,now where ’d you learn to pray like that?” [02:15.33]Chorus: [02:15.67]He said,'I ’ve been watching you,dad ain ’t that cool? [02:19.29]I ’m your buckaroo,I want to be like you. [02:21.73]And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are. [02:28.55]We like fixin ’things and holding momma ’s hand [02:33.64]Yeah,we ’re just alike,hey,ain ’t we dad? [02:36.52]I want to do everything you do;so I ’ve been watching you' [02:45.26]With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug. [02:50.96]Said,“My little bear is growin ’up.” [02:54.69]And he said,“But when I ’m big I ’ll still know what to do.” [03:02.26]'‘Cause I ’ve been watching you,dad ain ’t that cool? [03:05.78]I ’m your buckaroo,I want to be like you. [03:09.63]And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are. [03:16.23]By then I ’ll be strong as superman [03:18.79]We ’ll be just alike,hey,won ’t we dad [03:24.04]When I can do everything you do. [03:29.70]‘cause I ’ve been watchin ’you.'
