Can anyone tell me who sings the song My Little Buckaroo.?

September 25th, 2009 | by admin |

It is the one that plays on the radio now. I hear it often but they never say who the artist is…..

You may be talking about Rodney Atkins song "Watchin’ you"

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 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 where’d you learn to talk like that?”

Chorus:
He said, I’ve been watching you, dad ain’t that kool?
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, we’re 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 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
Spoke to God like he was talkin’ 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 kool?
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 moma’s hand
Yeah, we’re 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.”

Chorus:
‘cause I’ve been watching you, dad ain’t that kool?
I’m your buckaroo; I want to be like you.
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are.
By then 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 watchin’ you.
hey yeah
uh huh

    The only song that I can think of right off the bat is "Buckaroo" by Lee Ann Womack.

    http://www.cmt.com/videos/lee-ann-womack/26413/buckaroo.jhtml
    ain’t a lookin’ for a smart guy school guy
    Some proud in-crowd decked-out necktie
    I need a man who can tame a wild mustang
    Knows the difference ‘tween love and lust thang
    Somebody who looks a whole lot like you
    Buckaroo

    Ain’t interested in a yes ‘mam yes man
    I’ll pass on the politically correct man
    I’m set on fencin’ in a desperado
    Takes my breath away like Colorado
    Who ain’t afraid to walk a mile in my boots
    Buckaroo

    Heaven knows what I might do
    If I had me a cowboy like you
    Oh, Buckaroo

    Don’t have to wow me like a long beard Shakespeare
    Just talk plain talk right here in my ear
    If you aspire to sophistication
    I’ll tell you now you’re in the wrong location
    Get out of here before this country girl gets to you

    But, if you like sunset on the painted desert
    The Lone Ranger and spaghetti westerns
    I’ll tell you right now I’m the one for you
    Oh, Buckaroo
    Buckaroo
    Buckaroo
