One More Dixie Chicks Because Now It's Stuck In My Head

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

And 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 aboveAnd closer to you

Closer to you

Closer to you

Cowboy take me away

Closer to you

My all time favourite song.

The lyrics to the song speak into the depths of my soul. It makes me long for sunshine, tall grass and flowing skirts.

It makes me think of daisies, home made jam, grilled corn, and sitting in a rocking chair on the porch.

I can taste unsweetened lemonade, peach pie and fresh strawberries.

This is what I want for my family; freedom to run and play and imagine. To be carried away with their dreams. To be pirates, princesses and damsels in distress. Being dirty in the garden and bear feet in the summer.
