[00:03.99]Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
[00:12.03]They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold
[00:19.62]Lonestar belt buckles and old faded levis
[00:23.52]And each night begins a new day
[00:27.09]If you don't understand him an' he don't die young
[00:31.38]He'll prob'ly just ride away
[00:37.08]Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
[00:44.52]Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks
[00:48.75]Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
[00:53.58]Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
[01:00.93]'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone
[01:05.28]Even with someone they love
[01:10.98]Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings
[01:18.69]Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
[01:26.25]Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do
[01:29.88]Sometimes won't know how to take him
[01:33.48]He ain't wrong he's just different but his pride won't let him
[01:37.23]Do things to make you think he's right
[01:43.26]Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
[01:50.61]Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks
[01:54.69]Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
[01:59.34]Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
[02:06.69]'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone
[02:10.80]Even with someone they love
