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 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 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
