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