Lyrics

A cow boy ain’t eas y to love and he’s hard er to hold,

and it means more to him to give you a song than sil ver or gold.

Bud weis er buck les and soft fad ed Le vi’s and each night be gins a new day.

If you can’t un der stand him and he don’t die young, he’ll prob ab ly just ride a way.

Mam mas don’t let your ba bies grow up to be cow boys.

Don’t let ’em pick gui tars and drive them old trucks.

Make ’em be doc tors and law yers and such.

Mam mas don’t let your ba bies grow up to be cow boys

’cause they’ll nev er stay home and they’re al ways a lone, e ven with some one they love.

Mam mas don’t let your ba bies grow up to be cow boys.

Don’t let ’em pick gui tars and drive them old trucks.

Make ’em be doc tors and law yers and such.

Mam mas don’t let your ba bies grow up to be cow boys.

’cause they’ll nev er stay home and they’re al ways a lone, e ven with some one they love.
