Its a country song sung by a guy. Him and his little boy are riding down the road. His little boy has a happy meal in his lap. He has to brake hard and when he does, the little boy's french fries fall in the floor and his drink spills in his lap. His little boy says a bad word. He asks, where did you learn that word? His little boy says he's been watching him lately and he wants to be like him.
Sorry, that's the only thing I have to go on. My husband is the one that heard it. I called the radio station that played it but they don't have a clue what it is. Pls Help?

Watching you
Drivin' through town just my boy and me
With a happy meal in his booster seat
Knowin' that he couldn't have the toy
Till his nuggets were gone
A green traffic light turned straight to red
I hit my breaks
And mumbled under my breath
His flies went fryin'
And his orange drink covered his lap
Well then my four year old said a four letter word
It started with S
And I was concerned
So I said son
Where'd you learn to talk like that
He said I'd been watchin' 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 camel pants
We're just alike
Now ain't we dad
I wanna do everything you do
So I been watchin' you
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
Turnin' on my son's scooby doo night light
He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees
He closed his little eyes
Folded his little hands
Spoke to God like he was talkin' to a friend
And I said son,
Now where'd you learn to pray like that
He said I'd been watchin' 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 holdin' mama's hand
We're just alike
Now ain't we dad
I wanna do everything you do
So I been watchin' you
With tears in my eyes
I wrapped him in a hug
Said my little bear is growin' up
And he said but when I'm big
I'll still know what to do
Cause I been watchin 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 camel pants
We're just alike
Now ain't we dad
I wanna do everything you do
So I been watchin' you
Then I'll be strong as superman
We'll be just alike
Hey won't we dad
When I can do everything you do
Cause I been watchin' you
Hey yeah
Uh huh

in case you do unlike Phil Collins songs according to probability you need to not pay attention to genuine 40 radio. What stations do they play your songs on? once you have dissimilar hits, albums, stay overall performance excursions with a rock group or as a solo artist, then you definately can come again to Y/A & communicate approximately your fulfillment yet interior the mean time, exchange the station & supply up bellyaching over minor BS

I don't really know, but it sounds the slightest bit related to "Cat's in the Cradle" where the boy wants to be justt like his hard working father who has no time for his son and his son ends up like that. Makes me want to cry every time.
