Cowboys are easy [G#] to love and they're [B] harder to hold
[C#] They'd rather give you a song than die [F#] once a gold
I'm Starbelt Buckles and old [C#m] faded [B] Levi's
And each night begins [F#] a new [B] day
If [C#] you don't understand [G#m] him, he don't die young
[C#]
He'll probably just [F#] ride away young
So mamas don't let your [B] babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't
[C#] let on pick guitars and drive low trucks
Make hungry doctors and [F#] lawyers and sluts
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to [B] be cowboys
[C#] They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even when [F#] someone they love
Cowboys [G#] like smoky old pool rooms and clear [C#] mountain mornings
[D#] They'll only want puppies and children and girls [G#] of the night
Men that don't love you won't like even men to do
[C#] Men that sometimes won't know how to take you
It [D#] ain't wrong, he's just different
But his pride won't let him do things that make you [G#] think he's right, right
Mamas don't let your babies grow [C#] up to be cowboys
[D#] Don't let on pick guitars and drive low trucks
Make hungry [G#] doctors and lawyers [F#] and sluts
[G] [G#]
Mamas don't let your cowboys grow [D#m] up to [C#] be babies
I meant what I said
[G#] [D#] They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even when [G#] someone they love
They'll [D#] never stay home and they're always alone
