Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys

COWBOYS AIN'T EASY

TO LOVE

AND THEY'RE HARDER

TO HOLD

THEY'D RATHER

GIVE YOU A SONG

THAN DIAMONDS

OR GOLD

LONE STAR

BELT BUCKLES

AND OLD FADED LEVIS

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

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

COWBOYS 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

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
