1. Lone Star belt buckles and old faded Levis and
2. Them that don't know him won't like them and them that do

   G
1. each night begins a new day
2. sometimes won't know how to take him.

            A7
1. If you   don't understand him and he don't die young
2. He ain't wrong he's just different but his pride won't let him

1. he probably just rides away.
2. do things to make you think he's right.

D                                             G
Mammas don't let your Babies grow up to be Cowboys

      A7
don't let'em pick guitars and drive'em old trucks

                                  D
let'em be doctors and lawyers and such.

                                           G
Mammas don't let your Babies grow up to be Cowboys

             A7
cause the'll never stay home and they're always alone

                       D
even with someone they love.

don't let them pick guitars and drive in old trucks
         A7     D
make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

he'll probably just ride away
