Rodney Atkins - I've Been Watching You

Rodney Atkins

I've Been 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
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 now where did 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
And 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
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
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

Mirror lyrics:

Cause I've been watching you
When I can do everything you do
We'll be just alike, hey won't we dad
By then I'll be as strong as superman
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
Cause I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool
[Chorus three]

He said but when I'm big I'll still know what to do
Said my little bear is growing up
With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug
[Bridge]

So I've been watching you
I wanna do everything you do
Yeah we're just alike, hey ain't we dad
We like fixing things and holding mama's hand
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
He said I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool
[Chorus two]

And I said son now where'd you learn to pray like that
And spoke to God like he was talking to a friend
He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands
He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees
Turning on my son's Scooby Doo nightlight
Then this side of bedtime later that night
Said Lord please help me help my stupid self
I bowed my head and I prayed real hard
We got back home and I went to the barn

So I've been watching you
I wanna do everything you do
Yeah we're just alike, hey ain't we dad
We got cowboy boots and camo pants
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
He said I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool
[Chorus one]
