cowboy take me away

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

yes

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

closer to you

cowboy take me away

closer to you

i wanna touch the earth

i wanna break it in my hands

i wanna grow something wild and unruly
