[ti:Watching You]
[ar:Atkins Rodney]
[00:14.96]Drivin ’through  town  just  my  boy  and  me
[00:18.58]With  a  Happy  Meal  in  his  booster  seat
[00:23.98]Knowin ’that  he  couldn ’t  have  the  toy ‘til  his  nuggets  were  gone.
[00:30.92]A  green  traffic  light  turned  straight  to  red
[00:33.04]I  hit  my  brakes  and  mumbled  under  my  breath.
[00:34.98]His  fries  went  a  flyin ’,and  his  orange  drink  covered  his  lap
[00:39.84]Well,then  my  four  year  old  said  a  four  letter  word
[00:45.35]It  started  with “S ”and  I  was  concerned
[00:48.74]So  I  said,“Son,now  where ’d  you  learn  to  talk  like  that?”
[00:55.59]Chorus:
[00:57.91]He  said,'I ’ve  been  watching  you,dad  ain ’t  that  cool?
[01:01.08]I ’m  your  buckaroo,I  wanna  be  like  you.
[01:02.93]And  eat  all  my  food  and  grow  as  tall  as  you  are.
[01:09.22]We  got  cowboy  boots  and  camo  pants
[01:14.23]Yeah,we ’re  just  alike,hey,ain ’t  we  dad?
[01:19.25]I  want  to  do  everything  you  do.
[01:24.51]So  I ’ve  been  watching  you.'
[01:32.98]We  got  back  home  and  I  went  to  the  barn
[01:36.48]I  bowed  my  head  and  I  prayed  real  hard
[01:39.44]Said,“Lord,please  help  me  help  my  stupid  self.”
[01:43.70]Just  this  side  of  bedtime  later  that  night
[01:48.82]Turnin ’on  my  son ’s  Scooby-Doo  nightlight.
[01:52.23]He  crawled  out  of  bed  and  he  got  down  on  his  knees.
[01:59.52]He  closed  his  little  eyes,folded  his  little  hands
[02:04.36]Spoke  to  God  like  he  was  talkin ’to  a  friend.
[02:08.29]And  I  said,“Son,now  where ’d  you  learn  to  pray  like  that?”
[02:15.33]Chorus:
[02:15.67]He  said,'I ’ve  been  watching  you,dad  ain ’t  that  cool?
[02:19.29]I ’m  your  buckaroo,I  want  to  be  like  you.
[02:21.73]And  eat  all  my  food  and  grow  as  tall  as  you  are.
[02:28.55]We  like  fixin ’things  and  holding  momma ’s  hand
[02:33.64]Yeah,we ’re  just  alike,hey,ain ’t  we  dad?
[02:36.52]I  want  to  do  everything  you  do;so  I ’ve  been  watching  you'
[02:45.26]With  tears  in  my  eyes  I  wrapped  him  in  a  hug.
[02:50.96]Said,“My  little  bear  is  growin ’up.”
[02:54.69]And  he  said,“But  when  I ’m  big  I ’ll  still  know  what  to  do.”
[03:02.26]'‘Cause  I ’ve  been  watching  you,dad  ain ’t  that  cool?
[03:05.78]I ’m  your  buckaroo,I  want  to  be  like  you.
[03:09.63]And  eat  all  my  food  and  grow  as  tall  as  you  are.
[03:16.23]By  then  I ’ll  be  strong  as  superman
[03:18.79]We ’ll  be  just  alike,hey,won ’t  we  dad
[03:24.04]When  I  can  do  everything  you  do.
[03:29.70]‘cause  I ’ve  been  watchin ’you.'
