Willie Nelson - Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys lyrics
rate meMamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys<br />
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks<br />
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such<br />
<br />
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys<br />
They'll never stay home and they're always alone<br />
Even with someone they love<br />
<br />
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold<br />
And they'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold<br />
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levis<br />
<br />
And each night begins a new day<br />
And if you don't understand him and he don't die young<br />
You'll probably just ride away<br />
<br />
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys<br />
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks<br />
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such<br />
<br />
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys<br />
They'll never stay home and they're always alone<br />
Even with someone they love<br />
<br />
Cowboys like smoky old pool rooms, clear mountain mornings<br />
Little warm puppies and children, girls of the night<br />
And them that don't know him won't like him and them that do<br />
<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 and drive them old trucks<br />
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such<br />
<br />
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys<br />
They'll never stay home and they're always alone<br />
Even with someone they love<br />
<br />
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys<br />
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks<br />
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such<br />
<br />
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys<br /><br />
