Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys |
Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys |
Don’t let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks |
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such |
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys |
'Cause they’ll never stay home and they’re always alone |
Even with someone they love |
A Cowboy ain’t easy to love and he’s harder to hold |
He’d rather give you a song than silver or gold |
Budweiser buckles and soft faded levis |
And each night begins a new day |
If you can’t understand him, and he don’t die young |
He’ll probably just ride away |
Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys |
Don’t let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks |
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such |
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys |
'Cause they’ll never stay home and they’re always alone |
Even with someone they love |
A Cowboy like smoky old 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 things to make you think he’s right |
Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys |
Don’t let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks |
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such |
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys |
'Cause they’ll never stay home and they’re always alone |
Even with someone they love |
