Mommas Don't Let Your Baby's Grow Up To Be Cowboys Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold Lone Star belt buckles and old faded Levi's Each night begins a new day If you don't understand him and he don't die young He'll probably just ride away. Mommas don't let your baby's grow up to be cowboys Don't let em pick guitars and drive them old trucks Let em be doctors and lawyers and such Mommas don't let your baby's grow up to be cowboys Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone Even with someone they love. Cowboys like smoky old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do Sometimes won't know how to take him He ain't wrong he's just different but his pride won't let him Do things to make you think he's right. Mommas don't let your baby's grow up to be cowboys Don't let em pick guitars and drive them old trucks Let em be doctors and lawyers and such Mommas don't let your baby's grow up to be cowboys Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone Even with someone they love. Mommas don't let your baby's grow up to be cowboys. Sang By Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson This Site No Longer Available All rights reserved "Simply Angel' 2004
