Mama, don't let your [A] babies grow up [G] to be cowboys.
[A] Don't let them pick guitars and drive them over.
Make them be doctors and [D] lawyers and such.
Mama, don't let your babies grow up to [G] be cowboys.
[A] They'll never stay home and they're always alone.
Even with someone [D] they love.
[A] [D] Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're [G] harder to hold.
[A] And they'd rather give you a song than [D] diamonds.
Longstar bell buckles and old faded [G] Levi's.
Each night begins a new day.
[A] And if you don't understand him and he don't die young.
He'll probably just [D] ride away.
[C#] [D] Mama, don't let your babies grow [G] up to be cowboys.
[A] Don't let them pick guitars and drive them over.
Make them be doctors [D] and lawyers and such.
Mama, don't let your babies grow up [G] to be cowboys.
[A] They'll never stay home and they're always alone.
Even with [D] someone they love.
[E] Cowboys like smoky old pool rooms and clear [A] mountain mornings.
[B] Little warm puppies and children [E] and girls at night.
And them that don't know him won't like him.
And them that [A] do sometimes won't know how to take it.
[B] He ain't wrong, he's just different.
But his pride won't let him do things to make you [E] think he's right.
Mama, don't let your babies [A] grow up to be cowboys.
[B] Don't let them pick guitars and drive them over.
Make them be doctors and lawyers [E] and such.
Mama, don't let your babies grow [A] up to be cowboys.
[B] They'll never stay home and they're always alone.
Even [E] with someone they love.
Mama, don't let your babies grow up to [A] be cowboys.
[B] Don't let them pick guitars and drive them over.
Make them be doctors and [E] lawyers and such.
[A]
