3. Willie Nelson - "Mammas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys ..."

Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings sing their hearts out to warn women that cowboys are not relationship material in this song. Although extreme loners and only in need of company for short times, cowboys do have some endearing characteristics — like enjoying puppies. Not enough for mamma's darlings but enough to have created a song that remains an all-time favorite.
