@mp3 - Although Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson made the song famous, Ed Bruce penned the country classic, "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys" - I believe this is the original version.

(my favorite verse)

"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"
