Watching You Lyrics

Artist/Band: Atkins Rodney
Lyrics for Song: Watching You
Lyrics for Album: If You're Going Through Hell

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 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 ain�t that cool?
I�m your buckaroo, I wanna 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 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 holding momma�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.�

"�Cause I�ve been watching you, dad ain�t that cool?
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
