Mamas Dont Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys Chords & Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

C[D]owboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold[G]
They'd [A]rather give you a song than diamonds or [D]gold
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's and each night be[G]gins a new day
If you don[A]'t understand him and he don't die young
He'll probably just ride away [D]

[CHORUS]
Mamas d[D]on't let your babies grow up to be cowboys[G]
Don't let them[A] pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make them be doctors and lawyers and such [D]
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys [G]
They'll never st[A]ay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love [D]

Verse 2:(A tone higher)
Cow[E]boys like smokey ol' pool rooms and clear mountain mornin[A]gs
Little w[B]arm puppies and children and girls of the night [E]

Them that don't know him won't like him
And them that do sometime[A]s won't know how to take him
He ain't wr[B]ong, he's just different but his pride won't let him
Do the things that make you think he's right [E]

[CHORUS]
Mamas d[E]on't let your babies grow up to be cowboys[A]
Don't let th[B]em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make them be doctors and lawyers and such [E]
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys [A]
They'll never[B] stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love [E]
