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 ScoobyDoo 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.' |
| [03:37.63] |
hey yeah |
| [03:41.12] |
