/w RIFF A(x2)
D
Drivin' through town just my boy and me. With a "Happy Meal" in his booster seat
BbCD
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.
BbCD
His fries went a flyin', and his orange drink covered his lap
GA
Well, then my 4 year old said a 4 letter word
G/BAG
It started with "S" and I was concerned
GD/F#EmD/F#GA
So I said, "Son, now where'd you learn to talk like that?"
Chorus:
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 RIFF B
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
GAG/BAGA
I want to do everything you do.
D
So I've been watching you.
Bridge 1:D - G
/w RIFF A
D
We got back home and I went to the barn. I bowed my head and I prayed real hard
BbCD
Said, "Lord, please help me help my stupid self."
D
Then this side of bedtime later that night. Turnin' on my son's Scooby-doo nightlight.
BbCD
He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees.
GA
He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands
G/BAG
Spoke to God like he was talkin' to a friend.
GD/F#EmD/F#GA
And I said, "Son, now where'd you learn to pray like that?"
Chorus:
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 RIFF B
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are.
D
We live fixin' things and holdin' mama's hand
A
Yeah, we're just alike, hey, ain't we dad
GAG/BAGA
I want to do everything you do.
D RIFF C
So I've been watching you.
Bridge 2:
CG
With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug.
D
Said, "My little bear is growin' up."
C G Em G A RIFF D
And he said, "But when I'm big 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.
GA
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
GAG/BAGA
When I can do everything you do.
D
'cause I've been watching you.
