[Verse 1]
Out here on the prairie
Wishin' 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
Wishin' you were close to me

[Chorus]
Runnin' in and out of luck
Am I movin' up or gettin' stuck?

[Post-Chorus]
Close to me

[Verse 2]
Clear as the ear can reach, I hear you whisperin'
Live it up in the land of milk and honey
Strummin' chords, makin' friends, rollin' J's
And losin' money

[Chorus]
Runnin' in and out of luck
Haulin' in a pickup truck
All the wheels are fallin' off
Guess I'll give it one morе shot

[Post-Chorus]
Wishin' you were close to mе

[Verse 3]
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

[Outro]
Closer, closer to me
Closer, closer to me
Closer, closer to me
Closer, closer to me
