Lyrics

[00:05.59] Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
[00:10.07] Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks.
[00:17.87] Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such.
[00:22.52] Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
[00:29.99] 'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone.
[00:37.67] Even with someone they love.
[00:41.30]
[00:45.46] Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
[00:50.51] And they'd rather give you a song then diamonds or gold
[00:59.82] Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's each night begins a new day
[01:11.54] And if you don't understand him and he don't die young
[01:17.46] He'll probly just ride away
[01:21.06]
[01:23.65] Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
[01:32.11] Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks.
[01:38.52] Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such.
[01:44.69] Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
[01:52.13] 'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone.
[01:57.66] Even with someone they love.
[02:05.49] Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings,
[02:14.28] Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night.
[02:23.57] Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do,
[02:27.89] Sometimes won't know how to take him.
[02:32.66] He ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him,
[02:37.08] Do things to make you think he's right.
[02:40.29]
[02:43.61] Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
[02:50.48] Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks.
[02:57.80] Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such.
[03:04.28] Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
[03:10.69] 'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone.
[03:14.93] Even with someone they love.
