(Verse 1)
Out in the country where the wild winds blow,
There's a way of life that the city folks don't know.
Raising boys to be strong, to stand up tall,
But sometimes the world makes 'em feel so small.
(Chorus)
Mammas, don’t let your cowboys grow up to be pussies,
Teach 'em to ride, to fight, to never back down.
Show 'em the way of the heartland's old glory,
And how to keep their feet on solid ground.
(Verse 2)
Daddy always said, “Boy, you gotta be tough,”
Life’s gonna test you, the road can get rough.
Hold onto your pride, but don’t be a fool,
There's a strength in kindness, that’s the golden rule.
(Chorus)
Mammas, don’t let your cowboys grow up to be pussies,
Teach 'em to ride, to fight, to never back down.
Show 'em the way of the heartland's old glory,
And how to keep their feet on solid ground.
(Bridge)
There’s a fire in the eyes of a man who knows,
The balance of hard work and a heart that shows,
That a real cowboy ain’t afraid to shed a tear,
He's got the courage to face every fear.
(Chorus)
Mammas, don’t let your cowboys grow up to be pussies,
Teach 'em to ride, to fight, to never back down.
Show 'em the way of the heartland's old glory,
And how to keep their feet on solid ground.
(Outro)
So raise 'em up right, with a heart that's true,
Let 'em know it's okay to feel, to break through.
For a cowboy's strength is in his soul’s fire,
And that's the legacy of his mama’s desire.
Mammas, don’t let your cowboys grow up to be pussies,
Let 'em be strong, but with a heart that's sound.
Teach 'em to live by the cowboy's true story,
And keep their boots firmly on the ground.
