Lyrics & chords
[Verse 1] [D]Now boys ain't easy to love and they're harder to [G]hold They'd [A]rather give you a song than diamonds and [D]gold Lone star belt buckles, no faded Levi's Each [G]night begins a new day If you [A]don't understand him and he don't die young He'll probably just ride on [D]away So mama, don't let your baby grow up to be a [G]cowboy Don't [A]let him pick guitars and drive them old trucks Let him be doctors and lawyers and [D]such Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be [G]cowboys They'll [A]never stay home and they'll always be alone Even with someone they [D]love Cow[E]boys like smoky old pool rooms and clear mountain morn[A]ings [B]Little warm puppies and children and girls of the [E]night Them that don't know him won't like him Them that do [A]sometimes won't know how to take him He ain't [B]wrong, he's just different But his pride won't let him Do things to make you think he's [E]right So mamas don't let your babies grow up to be [A]cowboys Don't [B]let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks Let them be doctors and lawyers and [E]such Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be [A]cowboys They'll [B]never stay home, they'll always be alone Even with someone they [E]love [Outro 1] [E]
