Intro
Verse 1
Cowboys ain't easy to love and
they're harder to hold
They'd rather give you a song
than diamonds or gold
Lonestar belt buckles and old
faded Levi's and each night
begins a new day
If you don't understand him and
he don't die young
He'll probably just ride away
Chorus
Mammas don't let your babies
grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and
drive them old trucks
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers
and such
Mammas don't let your babies
grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and
they're always alone
Even with someone they love
[Verse 2] (A tone higher)
Cowboys like smokey ol' pool
rooms and clear mountain
mornings
Little warm puppies, and
children, and girls of the night
Them that don't know him won't
like him and them that do
sometimes won't know how to take
him
He ain't wrong, he's just
different but his pride won't
let him
Do the things to make you think
he's right
Chorus
Mammas don't let your babies
grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and
drive them old trucks
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers
and such
Mammas don't let your babies
grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and
they're always alone
Even with someone they love
