Cowboy Take Me Away

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

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 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
