D Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to h G old
They'd r A ather give you a song than diamonds or g D old
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's and each n G ight begins a new day
If you d A on't understand him and he don't die young
He'll probably just ride aw D ay
Chorus:
M D amas don't let your babies grow up to be c G owboys
Don't l A et them pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make them be doctors and lawyers and s D uch
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be c G owboys
They'll n A ever stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they l D ove
Verse 2:(A tone higher)
E Cowboys like smokey ol' pool rooms and clear mountain m A ornings
L B ittle warm puppies and children and girls of the n E ight
Them that don't know him won't like him
And them that do s A ometimes won't know how to take him
He a B in't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him
Do the things that make you think he's r E ight
Chorus bis:
M E amas don't let your babies grow up to be c A owboys
Don't l B et them pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make them be doctors and lawyers and s E uch
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be c A owboys
They'll n B ever stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they l E ove
