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 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 |
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?» |
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» |
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 |
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 |
