Watching You (Acoustic)

[Verse 1] 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 my brakes and mumbled under my breath His fries went a-flying and his orange drink covered his lap And 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] He said, "I've been watching you, dad Ain't that cool? I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you 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" [Verse 2] Then we got back home, and I went to the barn Bowed my head and I prayed real hard Said, "Lord, please help me, help my stupid self" Then that side of bedtime later that night Turning on my sons Scooby Doo nightlight He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands He spoke to God like he was talking to a friend And I said "Son, now where'd you learn to pray like that?" [Chorus] He said, "I've been watching you, dad Ain't that cool? I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you Eat all my food and grow as tall as you are We like fixing things and holding mama's hands 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" Yeah [Chorus] "'Cause I've been watching you, dad Ain't that cool? I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you Eat all my food and grow as tall as you are I bet I'll be 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" [Outro] Hey, yeah Oh-oh Haha
