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
