W. Original Motion Picture movie - Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys lyrics

rate me

Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold.<br>

They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold.<br>

Lonestar belt buckles and old faded levis,<br>

And each night begins a new day.<br>

If you don't understand him, an' he don't die young,<br>

He'll prob'ly just ride away.<br>

<br>

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.<br>

Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks.<br>

Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such.<br>

Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.<br>

'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone.<br>

Even with someone they love.<br>

<br>

Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings,<br>

Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night.<br>

Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do,<br>

Sometimes won't know how to take him.<br>

He ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him,<br>

Do things to make you think he's right.<br>

<br>

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.<br>

Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks.<br>

Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such.<br>

Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.<br>

'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone.<br>

Even with someone they love.<br>

<br>
