Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys chords by Johnny Paycheck
Verse 1
D
Now boys ain't easy to love
G
and they're harder to hold
A
They'd rather give you a song
D
than diamonds and gold
Lone star belt buckles, no faded Levi's
G
Each night begins a new day
A
If you don't understand him
and he don't die young
D
He'll probably just ride on away
So mama, don't let your baby
G
grow up to be a cowboy
A
Don't let him pick guitars
and drive them old trucks
Let him be doctors and
D
lawyers and such
Mamas don't let your babies
G
grow up to be cowboys
A
They'll never stay home
and they'll always be alone
D
Even with someone they love
E
Cowboys like smoky old pool rooms
A
and clear mountain mornings
B
Little warm puppies and children
E
and girls of the night
Them that don't know
him won't like him
A
Them that do sometimes won't
know how to take him
B
He ain't wrong, he's just different
But his pride won't let him
E
Do things to make you think he's right
So mamas don't let your babies
A
grow up to be cowboys
B
Don't let them pick guitars
and drive them old trucks
Let them be doctors and
E
lawyers and such
Mamas don't let your babies
A
grow up to be cowboys
B
They'll never stay home,
they'll always be alone
E
Even with someone they love
