Watching You

D  -  G  -  D  -  G

[Verse 1]
D
Drivin’ through town just my boy and
 me

With a happy meal in his booster 
seat
Bb                              
Knowin’ that he couldn’t have the 
   C                          D
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                          
His fries went a flyin’, and his 
 C                        D
orange drink covered his lap
              G                  A
Well, then my 4 year old said a four
 letter word
    G/B         A     G
It started with S and I was 
concerned
     G              D/F#      
So I said, son, now where’d you 
            Em  D/F#          A
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                          
And eat all my food and grow as 
     A
tall as you are
       D
We got cowboy boots and camo pants
            A
Yeah, we’re just alike, hey, ain’t 
we dad
Continues after the ad
  G       A  G/B   A        G  
I want to do everything you do
      A

                      D
So I’ve been watching you

D  -  G

[Verse 2]
D
We got back home and I went to the 
barn

I bowed my head and I prayed real 
hard
Bb                         C     
Said, Lord, please help me help 
         D
my stupid self
D
Just this side of bedtime later that
 night

Turnin’ on my son’s Scooby-doo 
nightlight
   Bb                        C 
He crawled out of bed and he got 
              D
down on his knees
          G                       
He closed his little eyes, folded 
A
his little hands
 G/B      A              G
Spoke to God like he was talkin’ to 
a friend
     G                D/F#     
And I said, son, now where’d you 
           Em  D/F#          A
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                          
And eat all my food and grow as 
     A
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  
I want to do everything you do;
      A

                      D
so I’ve been watching you

[Bridge]
     C                   G
With tears in my eyes I wrapped him 
in a hug
            D
Said, my little bear is growin’ up
C                         G      
And he said, but when I’m big 
   Em                A
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                          
And eat all my food and grow as 
     A
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 
When I can do everything you do
       A

                            D
‘cause I’ve been watchin’ you
