[Verse 1]
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
    G/B         A     G
It started with S and I was concerned
     G              D/F#                  Em  D/F#          A
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
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/B   A        G        A
I want to do everything you do
                      D
So I’ve been watching you

[Verse 2]
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
 G/B      A              G
Spoke to God like he was talkin’ to a friend
     G                D/F#                Em  D/F#          A
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
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/B   A       G        A
I want to do everything you do;
                      D
so I’ve been watching you

[Bridge]
     C                   G
With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug
            D
Said, my little bear is growin’ up
C                         G         Em                A
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
        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/B   A        G        A
When I can do everything you do
                            D
‘cause I’ve been watchin’ you
