(Verse 1)
(D)Drivin through town just my boy and me, with a happy meal and his booster seat
(C)Knowinf that he couldnft have his (G)toy till his nuggets were (D)gone
A (D)green traffic light turned straight to red, I hit my brakes and mumbled under my breath
His (C)fries went a flyinf and his (G)orange drink covered his (D)lap
Well, then my (G)4 year old said a (A)4-letter word
It (D)started with (A)gSh and (G)I was concerned
So (G)I said son, now where'd you learn, to (Em)talk (D/F#)like (G)that

(Chorus)
(A) He said Ive been (D)watchin' you dad ain't that cool
I'm your (A)buckaroo I wanna be like you
And eat (G)all my food, and grow as tall as (A)you are
We got (D)cowboy boots and camo pants yea we're (A)just alike hey ainft we dad

So I've been watchinf (D)you / / / |(D) I've been watchinf |(G) / / / |(G) /

(Verse 2)
Well, we (G)got back home and I went to the barn, I bowed my head and I prayed real hard
Said (C)Lord please help me (G)help my stupid (D)self
Just (D)this side of bedtime later that night, turning on my son's scooby doo night light
He (C)crawled out of bed and he (G)got down on his (D)knees
He closed (G)his little eyes, folded (A)his little hands
He (D)spoke to (A)God like he was (G)talkin' to a friend
And (G)I said son, now where'd you learn, to (Em)pray (G)like (A)that

(Chorus)
He said I been (D)watchin you dad ain't that cool
Ifm your (A)buckaroo I wanna be like you
And eat (G)all my food, and grow as tall as (A)you are
We like (D)fixin' things and holdin' mama's hand
Yea, we're (A)just alike hey ain't we dad
I (G)wanna (A)do, (G)every-(A)thing you (G) do(hold) (A)
So I've been watchin' (D)you

(Bridge)
With (C)tears in my eyes I (G)wrapped him in a hug
Said my (D)little bear is growin' up
And (C)he said but when I'm (G)big, I'll (Em)still know (D/F#)what to do (G)
 
(Chorus)
Cause I've been (D)watchin' you dad aint that cool
I'm your (A)buckaroo I wanna be like you,
And eat (G)all my food, and grow as tall as you (A)are
By then (D)Ifll be strong as superman
