Lyrics
Written by: rodney atkins, steve dean, brian white
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 A green traffic light turned straight to red I hit on my brakes and mumbled under my breath As fries went a flying 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
Chorus one
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 Spoke to god like he was talking to a friend And I said son now where'd you learn to pray like that
Chorus two
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
Bridge
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
Chorus three
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 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
Because I've been watching you Hey yeah.. uh huh
