MAMMAS DON'T LET YOUR BABIES GROW UP TO BE COWBOYS (LIVE) As recorded by Miranda Lambert (From the 2023 Album LONG STORY SHORT: WILLIE NELSON 90 - LIVE AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL) [Intro] G [Chorus]
G                                          C
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

      D
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks

                                   G
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

                                          C
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

        D
They'll never stay home and they're always alone

                       G
Even with someone they love
[Verse 1]
G
Cowboys ain't easy to love

                      C
And they're harder to hold

D
They'd rather give you a song

                 G
Than diamonds or gold

G
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levis

    C
And each night begins a new day

       D
If you don't understand him and he don't die young

                          G
He'll probably just ride away
[Chorus]
G                                          C
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

      D
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks

                                   G
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

                                          C
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

        D
They'll never stay home and they're always alone

                       G
Even with someone they love
[Verse 2]
A
Cowboys like smoky old pool rooms

                   D
And clear mountain mornings

E7
Little warm puppies and children

          A
And girls of the night

A
Them that don't know him

A
Won't like him and them that do

D
Sometimes won't know how to take him

         E7
He ain't wrong, he's just different

E7
But his pride won't let him

                                 A
Do things to make you think he's right
[Out-Chorus]
A                                          D
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

      E7
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks

                                   A
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

                                          D
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

               E
'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone

                       A
Even with someone they love

               E
'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone

                       A
Even with someone they love
