|
With a happy meal in his booster seat |
|
Knowing that he couldn't have the toy till his nuggets were gone |
|
Green traffic light turned straight to red |
|
I hit my breaks and mumbled under my breath |
|
As fries went a flying and his orange drink covered his lap |
|
Well then my four year old said a four letter word |
|
That started with 's' and I was concerned |
|
So I said son now |
|
Where did you learn |
|
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 wanna do everything you do |
|
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 |
|
Then this side of bedtime later that night |
|
Turning 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 |
|
And spoke to god like he was talking to a friend |
|
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 like fixing things and holding mama's hand |
|
Yeah we're just alike, hey ain't we dad |
|
I wanna do everything you do |
|
With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug |
|
Said my little bear is growing up |
|
He said but when I'm big |
|
Cause 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 |
|
Then I'll be as strong as you and superman |
|
We'll be just alike, hey won't we dad |
|
When I can do everything you do |
|
Cause I've been watching you |
|
He said I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool |
|
Cause I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool |
|
We got back home and I went to the barn |
|
With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug |
|
He said I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool |
