. . . 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 Levis

And each night

begins a new day
If you don't understand him
an' he don't die young
He'll prob'lyjust ride away

Mamas don't let your babies
grow up to be cowboys

Don't let 'em pick guitars
or drive them old trucks

Let '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 smokey

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
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
or drive them old trucks

Let '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
or drive them old trucks
Let '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
