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
In a blanket made of starsOh it sounds good to meI say, "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 youI wanna walk and not run
I wanna skip and not fall
I wanna look at the horizon
And not see a building standing tallI wanna be the only one
For miles and miles
Except for maybe you
And your simple smileOh it sounds good to me
Yes it sounds so good to meCowboy 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 youI 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 meCowboy 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 youCloser to you
Cowboy take me away
Closer to you
