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

and 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
