Biography:
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

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Played in standard tuning and you will have to listen to it to get the struming down.
if you play around with the D chord a little bit I found it adds to the song.

[Intro]
D - G - D - D
[Verse 1]
D
Drivin’ through town just my boy and me
With a happy meal in his booster seat
Bb C D
Knowin’ that he couldn’t have the 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 C D
His fries went a flyin’, and his 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# Em D/F# A
So I said, son, now where’d you 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 A
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
D
We got cowboy boots and camo pants
A
Yeah, we’re just alike, hey, ain’t we dad
G A G/B A G A
I want to do everything you do
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 D
Said, lord, please help me help my stupid self
D
Just this side of bedtime later that night
Turnin’ on my son’s Scooby-doo nightlight
Bb C D
He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees
G A
He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands
G/B A G
Spoke to god like he was talkin’ to a friend
G D/F# Em D/F# A
And I said, son, now where’d you 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 A
And eat all my food and grow as 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 A
I want to do everything you do;
D
so I’ve been watching you
[Bridge]
G A
With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug
G/B A G
Said, my little bear is growin’ up
G D/F# Em D/F# G A
And he said, but when I’m big 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 A
And eat all my food and grow as 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 A
When I can do everything you do
D
‘cause I’ve been watchin’ you
