Growing up....Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson song Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys
Cowboys like smoky 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
‘Cause they’ll never stay home and they’re always alone
Even with someone they love
Yeah, my mind went in that same direction”
Mamas don’t let your children grow up to be ‘Rat criminal thugs.
We need to update it. Maybe “Mama, don’t let your babies grow up to be Antifa”.
