[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Cowboys ain't
easy to love a
nd they're har
der to hold
They'd rather
give you a son
g than diamond
s or gold
Lonestar belt
buckles and ol
d faded Levi's
and each nigh
t begins a new
day
If you don't u
nderstand him
and he don't d
ie young
He'll probably
just ride awa
y
[Chorus]
Mammas don't l
et your babies
grow up to be
cowboys
Don't let 'em
pick guitars a
nd drive them
old trucks
Let 'em be doc
tors and lawye
rs and such
Mammas don't l
et your babies
grow up to be
cowboys
They'll never
stay home and
they're always
alone
Even with some
one they love
[Verse 2] (A tone higher)
Cowboys like s
mokey ol' pool
rooms and cle
ar mountain mo
rnings
Little warm pu
ppies, and chi
ldren, and gir
ls of the nigh
t
Them that don'
t know him won
't like him an
d them that do
sometimes won
't know how to
take him
He ain't wrong
, he's just di
fferent but hi
s pride won't
let him
Do the things
to make you th
ink he's right
[Chorus]
Mammas don't l
et your babies
grow up to be
cowboys
Don't let 'em
pick guitars a
nd drive them
old trucks
Let 'em be doc
tors and lawye
rs and such
Mammas don't l
et your babies
grow up to be
cowboys
They'll never
stay home and
they're always
alone
Even with some
one they love
