INTRO: D G D G
VERSE I:
D
Drivin? through town just my boy and me
With a happy meal in his booster seat
Bb C D
Knowin? that he couldn?t have the toy ?til his nuggets were gone.
D
A green traffic light turned straight to red
I hit my brakes and mumbled under my breath.
Bb C D
His fries went a flyin?, and his orange drink covered his lap
G A
Well, then my 4 year old said a four letter word
Bm A G
It started with S and I was concerned
G D/F# Em D/F# G A
So I said, son, now where?d you learn to talk like that
D
He said, I?ve been watching you, dad ain?t that cool
A
I?m your buckaroo, I want to be like you
G A
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
D
We got cowboy boots and camo pants
A
Yeah, we?re just alike, hey, ain?t we dad
G A G A G A
I want to do everything you do
D G
So I?ve been watching you
VERSE II:
D
We got back home and I went to the barn
I bowed my head and I prayed real hard
Bb C D
Said, lord, please help me help my stupid self
D
Just this side of bedtime later that night
Turnin? on my son?s Scooby-doo nightlight
Bb C D
He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees
G A
He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands
Bm A G
Spoke to god like he was talkin? to a friend
G D/F# Em D/F# G A
And I said, son, now where?d you learn to pray like that
D
He said, I?ve been watching you, dad ain?t that cool
A
I?m your buckaroo; I want to be like you
G A
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
D
We like fixin? things and holding momma?s hand
A
Yeah, we?re just alike, hey, ain?t we dad
G A G A G A
I want to do everything you do;
D
so I?ve been watching you
BRIDGE:
C G D
With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug
Said, my little bear is growin? up
C G
And he said, but when I?m big
Em D/F# A
I?ll still know what to do
Chorus:
D
?cause I?ve been watching you, dad ain?t that cool
A
I?m your buckaroo? I want to be like you
G A
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
D
By then I?ll be strong as superman
A
We?ll be just alike, hey, won?t we dad
G A G A G A
When I can do everything you do
D
?cause I?ve been watchin? you
