Watching You

Watching You - Big Band Country

Drivin through town just my boy and me

With a 'Happy Meal' in his booster seat

Knowin that he couldn't have the toy

Til his nuggets were gone

A green traffic light turned straight to red

I hit in my brakes and mumbled under my breath

His fries went a flyin

And his orange drink covered his lap

Well then my 4 year old said a 4 letter word

It started with 'S' and I was concerned

So I said Son

Now whered you learn to talk like that

He said I've been watching you

Dad ain't 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

Yeah were just alike hey ain't we dad

I want to 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

Just this side of bedtime later that night

Turnin on my sons Scooby-doo night light

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 talkin to a friend

And I said Son

Now whered you learn to pray like that

He said I've been watching you

Dad ain't 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 holding momas hand

Yeah were just alike hey ain't we dad

I want to 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 ain't that cool

I'm your buckaroo I want to be like you

And eat all my food

And grow as tall as you are"

"By then Ill be strong as superman

Well be just alike hey won't we dad

When I can do everything you do

'Cause I've been watching you"

Hey hey oh oh
