Lyrics

[00:04.80] Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
[00:12.36] And they'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold
[00:19.97] Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levis
[00:24.02] And each night begins a new day
[00:27.52] And if you don't understand him and he don't die young
[00:31.88] You'll probably just ride away
[00:37.50] Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
[00:45.02] Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
[00:49.27] Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
[00:54.00] Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
[01:01.50] They'll never stay home and they're always alone
[01:05.67] Even with someone they love
[01:11.41] Cowboys like smoky old pool rooms, clear mountain mornings
[01:19.15] Little warm puppies and children, girls of the night
[01:25.16] And them that don't know him won't like him and them that do
[01:30.46] Sometimes won't know how to take him
[01:33.89] He ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him
[01:38.58] Do things to make you think he's right
[01:41.76] Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
[01:47.75] Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
[01:55.24] Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
[01:59.79] Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
[02:07.09] They'll never stay home and they're always alone
[02:11.27] Even with someone they love
[02:14.83] Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
