  5  -5    -5    -5    5 -5b -5b  5  5
Driv-in through town just my boy and me

 -5  -5 -5 -5  -5  -5b 5   -5b  5   -5
With a hap-py meal in his boost-er seat

 -5  -5  -5  -5   -5 -5b   -5b  5   5
Know-in that he could-n't have the toy
 
 -5b -5b  -5b 4     4   5
Till his nug-gets were gone

-5  -5   -5   -5  -5     5      -5b     5  5
A Green traf-fic light turned straight to red

-5 -5 -5   -5   -5b -5b   5 -5b -5b  5   -5
I hit my brakes and mum-bled un-der my breath

 4    -5   -5 -5 -5 -5b -5b  5
His fries went a fly-in and his 

-5b -5b   -5   5   -4   4   5
or-ange drink cov-ered his lap

 4     7  7   7    7    7   
Well then my four year old 

 -5  5  -5   -5 -5   -5
said a four let-ter word

 4     5   5   5    5   4 -5b -5b 5     4
That start-ed with "s" and I was con-cerned

4 -5b  5   4   -5   -5b    
So I said son now where'd 

 5   4    4  -5b  5    4
ja learn to talk like that

(Chorus one)

-5  -5   -5   -5    7    -5  -5  7
He said I've been watch-ing you dad, 

  7    -5   -5
ain't that cool

 7    7   7  -6 -6  -6b -6b -6b -6b -6  -5
I'm your buck-a-roo, I wan-na  be like you

-5b -5b -5b -5b  4   -5b -5b -5b  4   5  5   -4
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are

-5  7   7  -5    -5   5   7 -5  -5
We got cow-boy boots and cam-o pants

 7     7     7  -6 -6   -6b  -6b  -6  -5
Yeah we're just a-like, hey ain't we dad

-5b -5b -5b -5 -6b -6b  -6   7   7
I   want to do ev-‘ry-thing you do

-5  -4   -4   -4    5   4
So I've been watch-ing you



(VERSE 2)


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 self
Then this side of bedtime later that night
Turning on my son's scooby doo nightlight
He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees
He closed his little eyes, 
folded his little hands
And spoke to God like he was talking to a friend
And I said son now where'd you learn to pray like that


Chorus two

* plays like chorus one

He said I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool
I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
We like fixin’ things and holding mama's hand
Yeah we're just alike, hey ain't we dad
I wanna do everything you do
So I've been watch-ing you



(Bridge)


 -5    -6  -6 -6   7  7   -6b   -6b -6b -5 -5b
With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in  a hug

  5  -5b -6b -5  -5  -5  -5  -5  5
Said my lit-tle bear is grow-in  up

 -5 -6  -6   -6  -6   -6 -6b  
And he said but when I'm big 

 5    -6b   -5   -5   5 -5
I'll still know what to do


(Chorus three)

 -5    -5   -5    7   -5  -5  7
Cause I've been watch-ing you dad, 

  7    -5   -5
ain't that cool


7    7   7  -6 -6  -6b -6b -6b -6b -6  -5
I'm your buck-a-roo, I wan-na  be like you

-5b -5b -5b -5b  4   -5b -5b -5b  4   5  5   -4
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are

 -5    7   7 -5   -5   5   7 -5  -5
Then I'll be as strong as sup-er-man

  7    7   7  -6 -6   -6b  -6b  -6  -5
We'll be just a-like, hey won't we dad

-5b -5b -5b -5 -6b -6b  -6   7   7
When I can do every-thing you do

  -5   -5    7   -5  -5  7
Cause I've been watch-ing you

-5   -4    -3  -3
Hey yeah.. uh huh


ENJOY!!!
