The Cowboys...

[5Stars]

Yeah, this is what others shoud be aware of....watch and see!




Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love

Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
And they'd rather give you a song then diamonds or gold
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's each night begins a new day
And if you don't understand him and he don't die young
He'll probly just ride away

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love

Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms and clear mountian moringin's
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
And them that don't know him won't like him
And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong he's just different
but his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such...

Most people have an incorrect understanding of what Willie's singing about when he mentions "Lone Star belt buckles"... they think he's talking about the State seal buckles you can find in just about any gift shop in Texas, but he's not... nope, he's talking about the belt buckle that Lone Star beer put out... it was highly prized because it was designed with a bottle opener in the back of the buckle... you just loosened your belt, popped the top on your beer, then put the buckle back in place...

I have one of 'em, but I'm still looking for a high quality leather belt to put it on...

I always thought that was the wrong Willie song for Cowboys fans to adopt anyway, my choice would be "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys"... not only does the title express all our feelings about the team, it has one of the all-time great lines in a song:

Cowboys are special
With their own private misery
From being alone too long
You could die of the cold
In the arms of a nightmare
Knowing your best days are gone
Picking up hookers
Instead of my pen
I let the words of my youth fade away...
