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
