D Cowboys ain't easy to love G And they're harder to hold A They'd rather give you a song D Than diamonds or gold D Lonestar belt buckles and old faded levis G And each night begins a new day A If you don't understand him And he don't die young D He'll prob'ly just ride away D Mamas, don't let your babies G Grow up to be cowboys A Don't let 'em pick guitars
Or drive them old trucks D Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such D Mamas don't let your babies G Grow up to be cowboys A 'Cos they'll never stay home And they're always alone D Even with someone they love E Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms A And clear mountain mornings B7 Little warm puppies and children E And girls of the night E Them that don't know him Won't like him and them that do A Sometimes won't know how to take him B7 He ain't wrong, he's just different But his pride won't let him E Do things to make you think he's right E Mamas, don't let your babies E7 A Grow up to be cowboys B7 Don't let 'em pick guitars Or drive them old trucks E Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such E Mamas don't let your babies E7 A Grow up to be cowboys B7 'Cos they'll never stay home And they're always alone E
