Out here on the prairie
Wishing you were close to me
Sure as the cold wind blows these stones
In east Wyoming

As far as the crow can fly
I've probably been there
But right now honey I'm just
Wishing you were
Close to me

Running in and out of luck
Am I moving up or getting stuck

Close to me
Clear as the ear can reach
I hear you whispering
Live it up in the land of milk and honey
Strumming chords
Making friends
Rolling J's
and losing money

Running in and out of luck
Hauling in a pick up truck
All the wheels are falling off
Guess I'll give it one more shot

Wishing you were close to me

It was good to know ya
Signed waterlogged from Minnesota
The sun sets hard real hard, in Odessa

I'm not sure what's left of us but as for me
I'm headed straight to Texas
It's about damn time honey
That I was close to you

Closer
Closer to me
Closer
Closer to me
Closer
Closer to me
Closer
Closer to me
