[Chorus]
G Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys A Don't let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks D Make them be doctors and lawyers and such G Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys A They'll never stay home and they're always alone D Even with someone they love
[Verse 1]
D G Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold A D They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold G Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's and each night begins a new day A If you don't understand him and he don't die young D He'll probably just ride away
[Chorus]
D G Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys A Don't let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks D Make them be doctors and lawyers and such G Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys A They'll never stay home and they're always alone D Even with someone they love
[Verse 2]
E A Cowboys like smokey ol' pool rooms and clear mountain mornings B E Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
Them that don't know him won't like him
A And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him B He ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him E Do the things to make you think he's right
[Chorus]
E A Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys B Don't let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks E Make them be doctors and lawyers and such A Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys B They'll never stay home and they're always alone E Even with someone they love E A Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys B Don't let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks E Make them be doctors and lawyers and such
