Mama don't let your cowboys grow up to be babies Teach them to hold that liquor while they're young
Raise them on chicken fried steaks and milk gravy
He's gonna make you proud that he's your son
Tell him there ain't nothing wrong with a little old wild streak
And it's allright to go howling at the moon
He needs to go out dancing and stomp his feet
Everybody knows that you cuss the band when you quit too soon
I say: Mama don't let your cowboys grow up to be babies no
Let him have those good times before he's old
If he wants to chase those wild wild ladies
You can't have no roots til you sow your oats
He may wanna ride across the border
And lay down his last dollar on lady luck
If somebody says that you sure have raised a wild one
Tell him there ain't nothing wrong with dipping snuff
And driving a truck
Yeah mama don't let your cowboys grow up to be babies
Teach them to hold that whiskey when he is young
Raise him on chicken fried steaks and milk gravy
He's gonna make you proud he is your son
Oh mama don't let your cowboys grow up to be babies
Let him have those good times while he's young
I said: Mama don't let your ... ungr
Ha-ha sometimes he gets away!
