Cowboys

Mama's don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive ole trucks

Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

Mama's don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

'Cause they'll never be at home and they'll always feel alone

Even if their with some body they love

Mama raised a dreamer, south side leanin'

Anti oxicoden, fiend rolls like a phoenix

Whip and weigh-in Wanza, I ended up in hand cuffs

Was no comedian when the judge told me to stand up

Man in the mirror, clearly difference appearance

Experiences make it wear, I fear sentencin' hearin's

But I just stay faithful, real cowboys never make it

Ashamed, we see what the game did to Troy Aikman

But I just kept prayin', 'cause that's what the good book said

I followed in the footsteps of man that booked beds

My daughter and my son, I pray they be all they can be

As long as they choose not to be a cowboy like me

Mama's don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive ole trucks

Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

Mama's don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

'Cause they'll never be at home and they'll always feel alone

Even if their with some body they love

Mama raised a rambler, on the line gambler

Slick country grammar, cocked back hammer

Hundred pounds in the camper, few years in the slammer

Air my dirty laundry, share my life panorama

Life of a cowboy, backdrop bandanna

Panda, panda, I picked a load up from Atlanta

Landed from Havana, from the hands of Hohay

Fore play for court dates, what more can they say?

I'm the real story, the one they tried to tell

Caught her in the wishin' well, fishin' for the fish scale

Residue on this scale, victory in this tale

I throw my boat off in the water, watch the ship sail

Get mail, spend it all, runnin' from the law

Feelin' alone with my loved ones 'cause my back against the wall

Times up, blue lights, and the loud noise

Tellin' my baby mama don't let their babies grow up to be cowboys

Mama's don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive ole trucks

Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

Mama's don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

'Cause they'll never be at home and they'll always feel alone

Even if their with some body they love
