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 bluebonnets In a blanket made of stars
Oh, 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 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 Cowboy take me away Closer to you
