I've Been Watching You

I've been watching you by Rodney Atkins is one of my favorite songs and I feel that it has an awesome message. The song is about a dad and his son and how whatever the dad does his song follows and does the same thing. Part of the song says:

"Driving through town just my boy and me
With a happy meal in his booster seat
Knowing that he couldn't have the toy
Till his nuggets were gone
A green traffic light turned straight to red
I hit my brakes and mumbled under my breath
His fries went a flying and his orange drink covered his lap
Well then my four year old said a four letter word
That started with "s" and I was concerned
So I said son now where did you learn to talk like that

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 got cowboy boots and camo pants
Yeah we're just alike, hey ain't we dad
I wanna do everything you do
So I've been watching you"

I love these lyrics because they show people that no matter what they do or where they are someone is watching them. They are influencing people everywhere they go and especially with little kids. Little kids look up to elder’s sooo much, and especially when they are your own kids too. This is a good reminder to everyone because we need to start being aware of that and watch what we do and say because people are watching and they want to be like us and do what we do. But do you really want them to do something wrong? Mostly everyone would say no. This is a really good song and a really cool message that I think most people need to be reminded of now and then.
