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
