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

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.

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