Polk Salad Annie (Live)
Tony Joe White
5:10Mama's don't let your cowboys grow up to be babies Teach them to hold their 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 ain't nothing wrong with a little ol' wild streak cnd its alright to go howlin at the moon He needs to go out dancing and stomp his feet Everybody knows that you cuss the band when they quit too soon I said mama's don't let your cowboys grow up to be babies Let him have those good times before he's old If he wanbts to chase those wild wild ladies Well yo can't have no roots till you sew your oats He may wanna ride across the border cnd lay down his last dollar on lady luck if somebody says you sure have raised a wild one Tell ‘em ain't nothing wrong with dippin snuff and driving a truck Mamas don't let you cowboys grow up to be babies Teach him to. Hold his whiskey while he's young Raise him on chicken fried rice and milk gravy He's gonna make you proud that he's your son
