That town was small, but my world felt bigger with you

My daddy liked you 'til he found out about your tattoo

You never had more than a ranch and dream

a couple acres, a dog, and your high school ring

That town was small, but I had some things to see

Shot for the moon, got lost in the stars

I was missin' red dirt, wound up on Mars

But them cosmic cowboys, they ain't for me

You don't know what you're missin' 'til you get up to leave

Comin' down crashin' was never my plan

But I just hope you're there when my heart lands

Young, wild, and reckless

thought I needed my space and my time

But it's a long way back home

when you've been lost in the sky

And I'd trade aurora for a field in south Georgia

and the greens and the blues in your eyes

Young, wild, and reckless, but I was just wastin' my time

Shot for the moon, got lost in the stars

I was missin' red dirt, wound up on Mars

But them cosmic cowboys, they ain't for me

You don't know what you're missin' 'til you get up to leave

Comin' down crashin' was never my plan

But I just hope you're there when my heart lands

Ooh

Shot for the moon, got lost in the stars

I was missin' red dirt, wound up on Mars

But them cosmic cowboys, they ain't for me

You don't know what you're missin' 'til you get up to leave

Comin' down crashin' was never my plan

But I just hope you're there, I just hope you're there

When my heart lands

Ooh
