Mamas Don't Let Your Babies
Grow Up To Be Cowboys

Words and Musuc by Ed Bruce and Patsy Bruce
CopynghtAlmo Musuc
(c) The Singing Machine
Cowboys ain't easy to love

and they're harder to hold

They'd rathet give you a song

than diamonds or gold
Lone star 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 inst 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

ole pool rooms

And clear mountain mornings
Little warm puppies and

children and gitls of the night
Them that don't know

him don't like him

And them that do sometimes

won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong
he's just different and 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
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
