|
|
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
|
|
Chorus:
|
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 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
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
