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
Well, then my four-year-old said a four-letter word
That started with "S" and I was concerned
So I said, "Son 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 (as you are)
We got cowboy boots and camo pants
Yeah, we're just alike, hey, ain't wะต dad? (Ain't we dad?)
I wanna do everything you do"
"'Cause I've been watching you"
"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
He 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 (as you are)
We love fixing things and holding mama's hand
Yeah, we're just alike, hey ain't we dad? (Ain't we dad?)
I wanna do everything you do
'Cause I've been watching you"
With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug
Said, "My little bear is growing up"
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 (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
So I've been watching you
Hey, hey, yeah
Uh-huh
I've been watching you
