[00:05.73]Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
[00:13.83]Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
[00:18.81]Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
[00:25.47]Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
[00:29.40]'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone
[00:38.55]Even with someone they love
[00:40.14]A Cowboy ain't easy to love and he's harder to hold
[00:49.71]He'd rather give you a song than silver or gold
[01:04.44]Budweiser buckles and soft faded levis
[01:08.46]And each night begins a new day
[01:12.99]If you can't understand him, and he don't die young
[01:17.58]He'll probably just ride away
[01:25.74]Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
[01:33.84]Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
[01:38.73]Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
[01:45.42]Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
[01:49.65]'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone
[01:58.62]Even with someone they love
[01:59.64]A Cowboy like smoky old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings
[02:14.67]Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
[02:19.74]Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do
[02:28.53]Sometimes won't know how to take him
[02:32.67]He ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him
[02:37.38]Do things to make you think he's right
[02:45.66]Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
[02:53.70]Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
[02:58.71]Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
[03:05.46]Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
[03:09.24]'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone
[03:14.13]Even with someone they love
