[Chorus] Mama, dont let your babies grow up to be cowboys Dont let em pick guitars and drive them old trucks Make em be doctors and lawyers and such Mama, dont let your babies grow up to be cowboys Theyll never stay home and theyre always alone Even with someone they love [Verse 1] Cowboys aint easy to love and theyre harder to hold Theyd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levis And each night begins a new day And if you dont understand him, and he dont die young Hell probably just ride away [Chorus] Mama, dont let your babies grow up to be cowboys Dont let em pick guitars or drive them old trucks Make em be doctors and lawyers and such Mama, dont let your babies grow up to be cowboys Theyll never stay home and theyre always alone Even with someone they love [Verse 2] Cowboys like smoky old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night Them that dont know him wont like him and them that do Sometimes wont know how to take him He aint wrong, hes just different, but his pride wont let him Do things to make you think hes right See Willie Nelson LiveGet tickets as low as 14You might also like[Chorus] Mama, dont let your babies grow up to be cowboys Dont let em pick guitars or drive them old trucks Make em be doctors and lawyers and such Mama, dont let your babies grow up to be cowboys Theyll never stay home and theyre always alone Even with someone they love
