[00:04.80]Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
[00:12.36]And they'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold
[00:19.97]Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levis
[00:24.02]And each night begins a new day
[00:27.52]And if you don't understand him and he don't die young
[00:31.88]You'll probably just ride away
[00:37.50]Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
[00:45.02]Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
[00:49.27]Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
[00:54.00]Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
[01:01.50]They'll never stay home and they're always alone
[01:05.67]Even with someone they love
[01:11.41]Cowboys like smoky old pool rooms, clear mountain mornings
[01:19.15]Little warm puppies and children, girls of the night
[01:25.16]And them that don't know him won't like him and them that do
[01:30.46]Sometimes won't know how to take him
[01:33.89]He ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him
[01:38.58]Do things to make you think he's right
[01:41.76]Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
[01:47.75]Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
[01:55.24]Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
[01:59.79]Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
[02:07.09]They'll never stay home and they're always alone
[02:11.27]Even with someone they love
[02:14.83]Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
