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