[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]
