Genre: country, western, folk


[Chorus]
D G
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys
A
Don’t let ‘em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
D
Make ‘em be doctors and lawyers and such
D G
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys
A
‘Cause they’ll never stay home and they’re always alone
D
Even with someone they love

[Verse 1]
D G
A cowboy ain’t easy to love and he’s harder to hold
A D
It means more to him to give you a song than silver or gold
D G
Big trophy buckles and salt-faded Levi’s and each night begins a new day
A
If you can’t understand him and he don’t die young
D
He’ll probably just ride away

[Chorus]
D G
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys
A
Don’t let ‘em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
D
Make ‘em be doctors and lawyers and such
D G
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys
A
‘Cause they’ll never stay home and they’re always alone
D
Even with someone they love

[Verse 2]
D G
A cowboy loves smoky old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings
A D
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
D
Them that don’t know him won’t like him and them that do
G
Sometimes won’t know how to take him
A
He’s not wrong, he’s just different,
D
and his pride won’t let him do things to make you think he’s right

[Chorus]
D G
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys
A
Don’t let ‘em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
D
Make ‘em be doctors and lawyers and such
D G
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys
A
‘Cause they’ll never stay home and they’re always alone
D
Even with someone they love
