[Intro] [Slow, falling piano chords] [Delicate fingerpicked acoustic guitar] [Verse 1] The concrete jungle washes down the drain, My quiet world is flooded out by pain. I pack my bags to hide away the strain, And leave behind the shadows of my lane. [Pre-Chorus] The moving tires leave the city bound, With all my hopes and memories tightly wound. I’m headed where the open skies are found, To silent mountains shaking off the ground. [Chorus] Oh, take me far away into the wild, Where everything is vast and undefiled. I'm running from the ghosts when I was mild, A broken spirit and a grieving child. The Colorado wind is blowing high and piled, To shelter every storm inside this exiled. [Verse 2] The ranch is loud after the city park, Ten noisy brothers waking up the dark. I feel so lost and straying from my mark, Just trying to ignite a tiny spark. [Bridge] [Music swells, adding a weeping cello and richer strings] The rules I built are suddenly so strange, The dusty air is forcing me to change. I never thought my life would rearrange, Within this open, unpredictable range. [Chorus Final] [Building up with emotional power] Oh, take me far away into the wild, Where everything is vast and undefiled. I'm running from the ghosts when I was mild, A broken spirit and a grieving child. The Colorado wind is blowing high and piled, To shelter every storm inside this exiled. [Outro] [Acoustic guitar slowing down] Inside this exiled... [Final single piano note fading out] [End]
