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
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

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
