Merle Haggard - Watchin' Scotty Grow lyrics

rate me

(Mac Davis)

Dennis Hromek

There he sits with a pen and a yellow pad

What a handsome lad that's my boy

BRLFQ spells mom and dad

But that ain't too bad that's my boy.

You can have your TV and your nightclubs

And you can have your drive in picture show

I'll stay here with my little man near we'll listen to the radio

Bidin' my time and watching Scotty grow.

Making a castle out of building blocks

And a cardboard box that's my boy

Mickey Mouse says it's thirteen o'clock

Well that's quite a shock that's my boy.

In four short years I've gone from rags to riches

What I did before that I don't know

But let it rain on my window pane I got my own rainbow

And we're sittin' here shining watching Scotty grow.

Ridin' on daddy's shoudlers off to bed

Old sleepy head that's my boy

Got to have a drink of water and a story read

A teddy bear named Fred that's my boy.

What's that you say momma come on and keep you feet warm

Save me a place I'll be there in a minute or so

I'll think I'll stay right here and say a little prayer before I go

Me and God watching Scotty grow me and God watching Scotty grow...
