I said I want to touch the earth I want to break it in my hands
I want to grow something wild and unruly
I want to 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 want to walk and not run, I want to skip and not fall
I want to look at the horizon, and not see a building standing tall
I want to 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 want to touch the earth, I want to break it in my hands
I want to 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, closer to you, cowboy take me away, closer to you
