Rodney Atkins - Watching You
If You're Going Through Hell (2006)

D - G - D - G

D
Drivin' through town just my boy and me
With a Happy Meal in his booster seat
Bb                                 C                        D      
Knowin' that he couldn't have the toy 'til his nuggets were gone. 
D
A green traffic light turned straight to red
I hit my brakes and mumbled under my breath.
      Bb                         C                        D
His fries went a flyin', and his orange drink covered his lap
              G                 A
Well, then my 4 year old said a 4 letter word
        G/B      A      G
It started with S and I was concerned
   G                  D/F#                Em   D/F#  G      A
So I said, Son, now where'd you learn to talk like that?


Chorus:
                    D
He said, I've been watching you, dad ain't that cool?
            A
I'm your buckaroo, I want to be like you.
          G                             A
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are.
       D
We got cowboy boots and camo pants
             A
Yeah, we're just alike, hey, ain't we dad
    G     A    G/B  A       G    A
I want to do everything you do.
                       D    G
So I've been watching you. 


D
We got back home and I went to the barn
I bowed my head and I prayed real hard
        Bb                   C              D
Said, Lord, please help me help my stupid self.
D
Just this side of bedtime later that night
Turnin' on my son's Scooby-doo nightlight.
   Bb                         C               D
He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees.
           G                       A
He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands
 G/B      A               G
Spoke to God like he was talkin' to a friend.
   G                  D/F#                 Em   D/F#  G      A
And I said, Son, now where'd you learn to pray like that?


Chorus:
                    D
He said, I've been watching you, dad ain't that cool?
            A
I'm your buckaroo, I want to be like you.
          G                             A
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are.
         D
We like fixin' things and holding momma's hand
              A
Yeah, we're just alike, hey, ain't we dad.
    G     A    G/B  A       G    A
I want to do everything you do.
                       D
So I've been watching you.

C                       G
With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug.
             D
Said, My little bear is growin' up.
    C                       G         Em         D/F#   A
And he said, But when I'm big I'll still know what to do.


Chorus:
                  D
'cause I've been watching you, dad ain't that cool?
          A
I'm your buckaroo I want to be like you.
          G                              A    
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are.
         D
By then I'll be strong as superman
           A
We'll be just alike, hey, won't we dad
     G     A   G/B  A         G  A
When I can do everything you do.
                           D   G  D  G  D
'cause I've been watchin' you.
