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 bluebonnets, in a blanket made of stars
Oh, it sounds 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 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
Except 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
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
Closer to you
Cowboy, take me away, closer to you
