Mam-mas, don't let your b-a-b-ies
grow up to be cow-boys,
Don't let them pick gui-tars
and drive them old trucks.
Let them be doc-tors and law-yers and such.
Mam-mas, don't let your b-a-bies
grow up to be cow-boys.
'Cause they'll nev-er stay home
and they're al-ways a-l-o-ne
e-ven with some-one they l-o-ve.
verse 1
Cow-boys ain't eas-y to love,
and they're hard-er to ho-ld.
They'd rath-er give you a song
than dia-monds or gold,
Lone Star belt buck-les,
and old, fad-ed Le-vis;
And each night be-gins a new day.
If you don't un-der-stand him
and he don't die young,
he'll prob-a-bly just r-ide a-way.
