Well then my four year old said a four 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 aint 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
Ya were just a like hey aint 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
On this side of bed time later that night
Turnin’ on my sons scooby-doo night light
He crawled outta bed and he got down on his knees

He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands
And spoke to god like he was talkin’ to a friend
and I said hey son now where’d you learn to pray like that.

(Chorus)
He said I’ve been watching you dad aint 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 holdin’ momma’s hand
Ya were just a like hey aint 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 growin’ up
And he said but when Im big
I’ll still know what to do.

(Chorus)
Cause I’ve been watching you dad aint that cool
I’m your buckaroo I want to be like you
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
Then I’ll be strong as superman
We’ll be just a like hey wont we dad
When I can do everything you do
‘Cause I’ve been watching you.

Hey ya! Uh huh!

rodney atkins, watching you
