| Drivin' through town just my boy and me | |
| With a 'Happy Meal' in his booster seat | |
| Knowin' that he couldn't have the toy â€~til his nuggets were gone | |
| A green traffic light turned straight to red | |
| I hit in my brakes and mumbled under my breath | |
| His fries went a flyin' and his orange drink covered his lap | |
| Well, then my 4 year old said a 4 letter word | |
| It started with 'S' and I was concerned | |
| So I said, ‽Son, now where'd you learn to talk like that?†| |
| 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 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 night light | |
| 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?†| |
| 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 moma'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 watching you" | |
| Hey, hey, oh, oh |
| Drivin' through town just my boy and me | |
