i said i wanna touch the earth
i wanna break it in my hands
i wanna grow something wild and unruly
i wanna sleep on the hard ground in the comfort of your arms
on a pillow of blue bonnets in a blanket made of stars
oh it sounds good to me
i said cowboy take me away
fly this girl as high as you can
into the wild blue
set me free oh i pray
closer to heaven above and
closer to you closer to you
i wanna walk and not run i wanna skip and not fall
i wanna look at the horizon
and not see a building standing tall
i wanna be the only one for miles and miles
e cept for maybe you and your simple smile
oh it sounds good to me yes it sounds so good to me
cowboy take me away
fly this girl as high as you can
into the wild blue
set me free oh i pray
closer to heaven above and
closer to you
closer to you
i said i wanna touch the earth
i wanna break it in my hands
i wanna grow something wild and unruly
oh it sounds so good to me
cowboy take me away
fly this girl as high as you can
into the wild blue
set me free oh i pray
closer to heaven above and
closer to you
closer to you
closer to you
cowboy take me away
closer to you
