Cowboy's ain't easy to love
and they're hard to hold
They'd rather give you a

song than diamonds
and gold
Lonestar belt buckles
and old faded Levi's
Each night begins a new day
Lonestar belt buckles
and old faded Levi's
Each night begins a new day

If you don't understand him
and he don't die young
He'll probably just ride away
Mama's don't let your
babies grow up to be

cowboy's
Don't let 'em pick guitars
and drive them old trucks

Let 'em be doctors
and lawyers and such
'Cause they'll never stay
home and they're
always alone

Even with someone
they love
Cowboy's like smokey old
pool rooms and clear

mountain mornin's
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
don't know how to take him
Mama's don't let your
babies grow up to be

cowboy's
Don't let 'em pick guitars
and drive them old trucks

Let 'em be doctors and
lawyers and such
Mama's 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
Don't let 'em pick guitars
and drive them old trucks

Let 'em be doctors and
lawyers and such
