Karaoké Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys Willie Nelson & Waylon Jennings

Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold

They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold

Lonestar belt buckles and old 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

Mamas don't let your babies

Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys grow up to be cowboys

Don't let them pick guitars

Don't let them pick guitars or drive them old trucks or drive them old trucks

Let them be doctors

Let them be doctors and lawyers and such and lawyers and such

Mamas don't let your babies

Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys grow up to be cowboys

'Cos they'll never stay home

'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone and they're always alone

Even with someone they love

Even with someone they love

Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms

And clear mountain mornings

Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night

Them that don't know

Them that don't know him won't like him him won't like him

And them that do sometimes

And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him won't know how to take him

He ain't wrong he's just different

He ain't wrong he's just different but his pride won't let him but his pride won't let him

Do things to make

Do things to make you think he's right you think he's right

Mamas don't let your babies

Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys grow up to be cowboys

Don't let them pick guitars

Don't let them pick guitars or drive them old trucks or drive them old trucks

Let them be doctors

Let them be doctors and lawyers and such and lawyers and such

Mamas don't let your babies

Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys grow up to be cowboys

'Cos they'll never stay home

'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone and they're always alone

Even with someone they love

Even with someone they love

Mamas don't let your babies

Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys grow up to be cowboys

Don't let them pick guitars

Don't let them pick guitars or drive them old trucks or drive them old trucks

Let them be doctors

Let them be doctors and lawyers and such and lawyers and such
