Lyrics

[00:13.59] Driving through town just my boy and me
[00:16.74] With a happy meal in his booster seat
[00:20.45] Knowing that he couldn't have the toy till his nuggets were gone
[00:27.08] Green traffic light turned straight to red
[00:30.38] I hit my breaks and mumbled under my breath
[00:34.02] As fries went a flying and his orange drink covered his lap
[00:40.58] Well then my four year old said a four letter word
[00:44.02] That started with "s" and I was concerned
[00:47.85] So I said son now
[00:50.32] Where did you learn
[00:52.00] To talk like that
[00:56.52] He said I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool
[01:01.00] I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
[01:03.97] And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
[01:10.83] We got cowboy boots and camo pants
[01:14.80] Yeah we're just alike, hey ain't we dad
[01:17.79] I wanna do everything you do
[01:24.02] So I've been watching you
[01:32.34] We got back home and I went to the barn
[01:35.56] I bowed my head and I prayed real hard
[01:39.00] Said lord please help me help my stupid self
[01:46.18] Then this side of bedtime later that night
[01:49.27] Turning on my son's scooby doo nightlight
[01:52.86] He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees
[01:59.55] He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands
[02:03.31] And spoke to god like he was talking to a friend
[02:06.83] And I said son where'd you learn to pray like that
[02:14.75] He said I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool
[02:19.25] I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
[02:22.18] And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
[02:28.93] We like fixing things and holding mama's hand
[02:32.34] Yeah we're just alike, hey ain't we dad
[02:35.90] I wanna do everything you do
[02:41.85] So I've been watching you
[02:46.76] With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug
[02:49.84] Said my little bear is growing up
[02:53.33] He said but when I'm big
[02:57.59] I'll still know what to do
[03:02.50] Cause I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool
[03:06.31] I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
[03:09.92] And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
[03:16.71] Then I'll be as strong as you and superman
[03:20.12] We'll be just alike, hey won't we dad
[03:23.72] When I can do everything you do
[03:29.58] Cause I've been watching you
