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
Cowboy take me away
Closer to you
