* 3-bar intro
* Verse 1 Cowboys ain't easy to love when they're harder to hold. They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold. Lone Star belt buckles and gold, faded Levi's And each night begins a new day. If you don't understand him and he don't die young, He'll probably just ride away.
* Chorus Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks. Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such. Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. They'll never stay home and they're always alone, Even with someone they love.
* Verse 2 Cowboys like smoky, old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings. They don't want puppies or children and girls of a night. Them that don't know him won't like him And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him. He ain't wrong, he's just different And his pride won't let him do things to make you feel he's right.
* Repeat chorus twice
* Coda They'll never stay home and they're always alone, Even with someone they love. *******************************************
