Intro:D - G - D - G

/w RIFF A(x2)

D

Drivin' through town just my boy and me. With a "Happy Meal" in his booster seat

Bb C D

Knowin' that he couldn't have the toy 'til his nuggets were gone.

D

A green traffic light turned straight to red. I hit my brakes and mumbled under my breath.

Bb C D

His fries went a flyin', and his orange drink covered his lap

G A

Well, then my 4 year old said a 4 letter word

G/B A G

It started with "S" and I was concerned

G D/F# Em D/F# G A

So I said, "Son, now where'd you learn to talk like that?"

Chorus:

D

He said, I've been watching you, dad ain't that cool?

A

I'm your buckaroo, I want to be like you.

G A RIFF B

And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are.

D

We got cowboy boots and camo pants

A

Yeah, we're just alike, hey, ain't we dad

G A G/B A G A

I want to do everything you do.

D

So I've been watching you.

Bridge 1:D - G

/w RIFF A

D

We got back home and I went to the barn. I bowed my head and I prayed real hard

Bb C D

Said, "Lord, please help me help my stupid self."

D

Then this side of bedtime later that night. Turnin' on my son's Scooby-doo nightlight.

Bb C D

He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees.

G A

He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands

G/B A G

Spoke to God like he was talkin' to a friend.

G D/F# Em D/F# G A

And I said, "Son, now where'd you learn to pray like that?"

Chorus:

D

He said, I've been watching you, dad ain't that cool?

A

I'm your buckaroo, I want to be like you.

G A RIFF B

And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are.

D

We live fixin' things and holdin' mama's hand

A

Yeah, we're just alike, hey, ain't we dad

G A G/B A G A

I want to do everything you do.

D RIFF C

So I've been watching you.

Bridge 2:

C G

With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug.

D

Said, "My little bear is growin' up."

C G Em G A RIFF D

And he said, "But when I'm big I'll still know what to do."

Chorus:

D

'cause I've been watching you, dad ain't that cool?

A

I'm your buckaroo, I want to be like you.

G A

And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are.

D

By then I'll be strong as superman

A

We'll be just alike, hey, won't we dad

G A G/B A G A

When I can do everything you do.

D

'cause I've been watching you.
