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 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 s 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
willie nelson waylon jennings both
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
waylon jennings willie nelson
mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys
don’t let ’em pick s 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
