Watching You

Driving through town just my boy and me
 With a happy meal in his booster seat
 Knowing that he couldn't have the toy
 'Till his nuggets were gone
 Green traffic light turned straight to red
 I hit my brakes and mumbled under my breath
 His fries went a flying and his orange drink covered his lap
 Well then my four year old said a four letter word
 That started with "s" and I was concerned
 So I said son now now where did you learn to talk like that
 He said I've been watching 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
 Yeah we're just alike, hey ain't 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
 Then this side of bedtime later that night
 Turning 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
 And spoke to God like he was talking 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 wanna be like you
 And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
 We like fixing things and holding mama's hand
 Yeah we're just alike, hey ain't 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 growing up
 And he said but when I'm big I'll still know what to do
 Cause I've been watching 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
 By then I'll be as strong as superman
 We'll be just alike, hey won't we dad
 When I can do everything you do
 Cause I've been watching you
