[G]
Here's a little song made famous by Waylon and Willie.
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold.
[C] [D] They'd rather give you a song than [G] diamonds and gold.
Lonestar belt buckles old faded Levi's.
[C] Each night begins a new day.
If [D] you don't understand him and he don't die young,
he'll [G] probably just ride away.
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to [G] be [C] cowboys.
Don't [D] let them pick guitars and drive the mow trucks.
Let them [D] be doctors and lawyers [G] and such.
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be [C] cowboys.
[D] Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone.
Even with someone [G] they love.
[A]
Cowboys like cold, small, pool rooms and [D] clear mountain mornings.
[E] Little warm puppies, children and girls [A] of the night.
Them that don't know him [A] won't like him.
Them that [D] do sometimes won't know how to take it.
He [E] ain't wrong, he's just different.
But his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's [A] right.
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be [D] cowboys.
Don't [E] let them pick guitars and drive the mow trucks.
Let them be doctors and lawyers [A] and such.
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be [D] cowboys.
[Em] Cause they'll [E] never stay home and they're always alone.
Even with someone [A] they love.
