Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I said, I wanna touch the earth
I wanna break it in my hands
I wanna grow somethin' wild and unruly
I wanna skip on the hard ground
In the comfort of your arms
On a pillow of blue bonnets
In a blanket made of stars
[PreChorus]
Oh, it sounds good to me
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental]
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
[PreChorus]
Oh, it sounds good to me
Yes, it sounds so good to me
[Chorus]
Cowboy, take me away
Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue
And set me free, oh, I pray
Closer to Heaven above and closer to you
Closer to you
[Instrumental]
I said, I wanna touch the earth
I wanna break it in my hands
I wanna grow somethin' wild and unruly
[PreChorus]
Oh, it sounds so good to me
Yes, it sounds so good to me
[Chorus]
Cowboy, take me away
Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue
And 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
