Dixie Chicks - Cowboy Take Me Away Lyrics Meaning

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 Bluebonnet's in a blanket made of stars,

Oh, it sounds 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 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 me and 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 it my hands,
I wanna grow something wild and unruly,

Oh, it sounds so good to me...

(chorus)
