Artist: Waylon Jennings
Song: Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold.
They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold.
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded levis,
And each night begins a new day.
If you don't understand him, an' he don't die young,
He'll prob'ly just ride away.
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks.
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such.
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone.
Even with someone they love
Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings,
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night.
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.
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks.
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such.
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone.
Even with someone they love.
Waylon Jennings - Drinkin And Dreamin
Everybody?s lookin? for some way,
I?m lookin? for some way out.
I?ve been wastin? my time standin? alone
If this is what it?s all about.
All I got is a job that I don?t like
And a woman that don?t understand.
So tonight at the bar,
I?ll get in my car
And take off for the promise land.
Drinkin? and dreamin?
Knowin? damn well I can?t go.
I?ll never see Texas, L.A., or Old Mexico.
But here at this table, I?m able to leave it behind.
Drink ?til I?m dreamin?, a thousand miles out of my mind.
This suit and this tie, is just a disguise.
This ain?t really me.
Some people are born, to be tied down,
Some people are born to be free.
When I look down the road she don?t know
How it gets under my skin.
She?s got my body but my heart and soul
Are out there ridin? away.
Drinkin? and dreamin?
Knowin? damn well I can?t go.
I?ll never see Texas, L.A., or Old Mexico.
But here at this table, I?m able to leave it behind.
Drink ?til I?m dreamin?, a thousand miles out of my mind.
Drinkin? and dreamin?
Knowin? damn well I can?t go.
I?ll never see Texas, L.A., or Old Mexico.
But here at this table, I?m able to leave it behind.
Drink ?til I?m dreamin?, a thousand miles out of my mind
this song is the way i feel right now. trying to forget someone right now.
