Ed Bruce first cut “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys” in 1975 with his wife Patsy Trigg singing harmony. Written by Bruce himself, it was a raw, world-weary warning wrapped in twang and truth. His version hit the Top 20, but it was Willie and Waylon’s 1978 duet that turned it into a country anthem. Still, Bruce’s original carried a quieter kind of power—less outlaw swagger, more lived-in wisdom from a man who knew the highs and heartaches of the cowboy life. #country | HonkyTon

Written by Ed and Patsy Bruce, “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys” was first recorded by Ed in 1975. But when Waylon and Willie cut it in 1978, it hit Number 1 and became an outlaw anthem. Gritty, iconic, and half warning, half pride—this was cowboy life set to a slow burn.
