Rodney Atkins - Watching You lyrics

Drivin' through town just my boy and me

With a happy meal and his booster seat

Knowin' that he couldn't have his 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 a flyin' 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 now where'd you learn to talk like that

He said I've been watching you dad aint 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

Ya were just a like hey aint we dad

I wanna do everything you do

So I've 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

On this side of bed time later that night

Turnin' on my sons scooby-doo night light

He crawled outta bed and he got down on his knees

He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands

And spoke to God like he was talkin' to a friend

And I said hey son now where'd you learn to pray like that

He said I've been watching you dad aint 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 holdin' momma's hand

Ya were just a like hey aint we dad

I wanna do everything you do

So I've 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 I'm big

I'll still know what to do

'Cause I've been watching you dad aint that cool

I'm your buckaroo I want to be like you

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

Then I'll be strong as superman

We'll be just a like hey wont we dad

When I can do everything you do

'Cause I've been watching you

Hey ya! Uh huh!
