[D]
[G]
[D]
[G]
[D] Driving through town just my boy and me With a happy meal in his booster seat
[Bb] Knowing that he couldn't [C] have the toy [G] till 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-flying [C] and his orange [G] drink covered his [D] lap
Well [G] in my four year old [A] set of four letter word
[Bm] It started [A] with S [G] and I was concerned So I said son, [D] now where'd you learn
[Em] To [D] talk like [G]
that?
[A] He said I've [D] been watching you, that ain't that [A] cool
I'm your bugaroo, I wanna be like you And [G] eat all my food
And grow as tall [A] as you are
We [D] got cowboy boots and camel pants [A] Yeah we're just alike, hey, ain't we dad?
[G] I wanna [A] do [G] [A] everything [G] you do
[A] So I've been [D] watching you
[G]
[D] We got back home and I went to the barn I bowed my head and I prayed real hard
[Bb] I said Lord please help [C] me help my stupid [D] self
[G] [D] But at this side of bedtime later that night Turning on my son's Scooby-Doo nightlight
[Bb] He crawled out of bed [C] and he got down on [D] his knees
He [G] closed his little eyes, [A] holding his little hands
[Bm] Spoke [A] to God like [G] he was talking to a friend And I said son, [D] now where'd you learn
[Em]
[D] To [G] pray like that?
[A]
He said [D] I've been watching you, that ain't that [A] cool
I'm your bugaroo, I wanna be like [G] you And eat all my food
And grow as tall [A] as you are
We [D] like mixing things and holding mama's hand [A] Yeah we're just alike, hey, ain't we [D] dad?
I [G] wanna [A] do [G]
[A] everything [G] you do
[A] So I've been [D] watching you
[C] With tears in my [G] eyes I wrapped him in a hug
Said my [D] little bear is growing up
And [C] he said but [G] when I'm big [Em] I'll still [D] know what [A] to do
[D] Cause I've been watching you, that ain't that cool
[A] I'm your bugaroo, I wanna be [G] like you And eat all my food
And grow as tall [D] as you are
I've been hoping strong Superman
We'll [A] be just alike, hey, won't we dad?
[G] When I [A] can do [G] [A] everything [G] you do
[A] Cause I've been [D] watching you
[G]
[D] Hey yeah
[G] Uh huh
[Gbm] [Em] [D]
