Watching You Lyrics


Drivin' through town just my boy and me
With a 'Happy Meal' in his booster seat
Knowin' that he couldn't have the toy til his nuggets were goneA green traffic light turned straight to red
I hit in my brakes and mumbled under my breath
His fries went a flyin' and his orange drink covered his lapWell, then my 4 year old said a 4 letter word
It started with 'S' and I was concerned
So I said, Son, now where'd you learn to talk like that?He said, I've been watching you, dad aint that cool?
I'm your buckaroo, I want to be like you
And eat all my food, and grow as tall as you are"We got cowboy boots and camo pants
Yeah, were just alike, hey, aint we dad
I want to do everything you do
So I've been watching you"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 selfJust this side of bedtime later that night
Turnin' on my sons Scooby-doo night light
He crawled out of bed and he got down on his kneesHe closed his little eyes, folded his little hands
Spoke to God like he was talkin' to a friend
And I said, Son, now where'd you learn to pray like that?He said, I've been watching you, dad aint that cool?

I'm your buckaroo, I want to be like you
And eat all my food, and grow as tall as you are""We like fixin' things and holding momma's hand
Yeah, were just alike, hey, aint we dad?
I want to do everything you do
So I've been watching you"With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug
Said, My little bear is growin' up
And he said, "But when I'm big
I'll still know what to do""Cause I've been watching you, dad aint that cool?
I'm your buckaroo, I want to be like you
And eat all my food, and grow as tall as you are""By then I'll be strong as superman
Well be just alike, hey, won't we dad?
When I can do everything you do
'Cause I've been watching you"Hey, hey, oh, oh
I love you dad o ya
your the best person in my life
hey dad I was wondering
if I could get a pocket knife
just like you"Cause Ive been watching you, dad aint that cool?
Im your buckaroo, I want to be like you
And eat all my food, and grow as tall as you are"

Rodney Atkins, born March 28, 1969 in Knoxville, Tennessee, is an American country singer. He was an adopted child. As an infant at the Holston Methodist Home for Children in Greeneville, Tennessee, he was so sick that two couples who had taken him home returned him just a few days later. A third couple from Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, adopted him as well and, even though his ailments worsened, refused to give him up. His adoptive mother had been raised in a coal mining family near a tannery camp, and his dad survived an upbringing marked by poverty and episodes of abuse. Rodney is married and has a 4-year-old son named Elijah, who is featured in the video for Rodney's song "Watching You". While his career had a bit of a slow start, he subsequently achieved success with his first #1 hit (If You're Going Through Hell) and the fast climbing follow-up single (Watching You).

Songfacts.com reports that he lead-off single from Rodney Atkins' fourth album, titled Take A Back Road, finds the singer looking to leave the stress of the city. It was released on April 26, 2011.
