Cowboys ain't easy to love
And they're harder to hold
They'd rather give you a song
Then diamonds or gold
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's
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
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 don't like him
And them that do sometimes don'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
