Still listening to this 2024..who's with me?

When I was a little boy growing up in Gillette Wyoming, this song came on the radio in our garage late one night when me and my mom were painting, i grabbed my mom and slow danced with her to this song and it brought her to tears. One of my best childhood memories ♥ Sadly she is no longer with us, she passed unexpectedly in 2021 and this was the song I played for her.

I'm a black man 28 now. I heard this song i was may 12 or 13 it came on CMT one morning. Fell in love with it. This song has carried me through good times & hard times, from homelessness to being in prison even now being a successful business owner and investor. This song still touch my heart and soul.

Im a Black 59 year old women,, and i just heard this song for the first time ever ,, Believe it or not ,! I know ...i mean i know the Dixie Chicks ,,and i listen to ALL Music, How could i have missed this after all these Years?..Well im Soooo glad i heard it today!!!! Its awesome,, and it reminded me of my Cowboy who was taken away very sudden and unexpectedly 6 months ago....wow it touched my heart and soul,, Zac you'll always be my special cowboy,,I Love You Forever ❤ ❤

I'm not a country fan; but damn the lyrics & violin. Gospel comes to mind 😢. These ladies were special.

Not enough comments about how good the violinist is so I'll add one... she's amazing!!!

They were severely underrated. Great talent.

I fell in love with a country boy, my fiance, also a pilot. "Fly this girl as high as you can." He just passed from complications from cancer. Never got to dance to this song at our wedding. "Closer to heaven above and closer to you." R.I.P. Boo. See you soon. ✈️💙

I love the chick's one of my all time favorite still listening 2024"

My now late mum loved this song. 😢mum please wait for me

Hands down one of the prettiest songs ever written.

Before my husband went on his last tour, for the Marines this was our song. He never came home. Thank you this song reminds me of him. I love you Chicks. You ladies bring him to me when I hear this song. 🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍💝

Natalie Maines has a voice from God.

Rest in piece Laura. I reckon you're singing with the angels now, front and center. You and the Chicks meant a lot to me as a kid and even more as an adult. May your rest be easy and may your paradise hold every melody you could ever imagine & more.

My cowboy passed away 7 years ago and i still get goosebumps listening to this. We used to dance to it :-)

I'm a Nigerian African woman living in Atlanta and I am a PROUD superfan of The Chicks... since high school days! One of the best music groups ever. True talent from three elegant, 4ever classy women.

I grew up in the city yet always wanted to live on a farm in the country for some reason. I was in my 20's when this song came out and I was obsessed, my friends laughed, but they understood me. It's been 7 years now with my cowboy on our farm with our kids and animals. I'm right where I always dreamt of. I will always love this song.

STOP CANCELLING YOUR HISTORY. BE PROUD OF IT. YOU ARE DIXIE CHICKS!!! DIXIE!!!

There is scripture all up in thru here 💯🥹💜😳✊🏽

I think it’s so epic three (beautiful) women can come together, play musical instruments, sing lyrics too true, AND ruffle George W’s feathers.

The Dixie chicks are so blessed with their beautiful voices!

My mom used to sing this song to me growing up in the country. Now that I’ve moved away to the city and I’m a bit older the song brings tears to my eyes.

I miss these kind of parties

In 2024 this song still puts a smile on my face the way it did when I was a child!

That violin is kicking ass for real

Me and my beautiful bride walked down the isle to this song. Been married 15 years this year!

At 3:40 in Does the Beautiful Harmony on " Cowboy Take Me Away "Give anyone else Cold Chills its so damn good ?

Old time punk rock girl from Kentucky and this song still makes me want a cowboy. 😆

I'm only thirteen. Where kids my age are listening to other teenagers make pop music, my favorite band is a group of forty year old women. And my favorite singer is a 63 year old man. (George Strait) Country was so great back then. My favorite singers are older than my own father.

Man...now this is music! What the fuck has happened to country music? It started going downhill after 9/11

I sang this at my Wedding. I love Jesus.

My grandma is the first person to introduce me to them in the 2000’s when I was 4 driving to see my sister. Still one of my most memorable childhood moments

Mark says these girls from the south are the only ones down there with the brains to know whats up. Still the best.

The first minute of this song has got to be one of the most beautiful minutes in all of country music. The music, lyrics, vocals, mandolin, fiddle, steel guitar - all just about perfect. .

These women deserve an apology for how they were treated after speaking out about the Iraq War. They were right.

Good song they don't make music like this anymore from the soul

This Black man from Edmonton Alberta loves him some Dixie Chicks as well. Loving them for a long time. Glad to see you back Chicks.

I married a cowboy rip my cowboy This song means so much!💕💕👏

Bless you for your kindness to your mom!

I lost my beautiful daughter at age 22. We spent many happy hours listening to Dixie Chicks. Thank you

Who’s listening still 2019. This song has played in my head for days. I love how Natalie portrays her Cowboy is so beautiful. These Ladies are so graceful, sexy with a touch of badass...Priceless Girl Power💐

This Black Man Loves Dixie Chicks Too ✊🏿🖤

I was growing up to this song I can think back when I was child

Violinist is exquisite!❤

It was the violinist Marty McGuire who wrote this song for her sister’s wedding. How sweet is that.

2021, anyone still here? Whew, i was just 2 yrs. Old when this song was originally released. I love it! ❤

July 2023 and I'm still loving this song as much as i did when it first came out. I was a young girl then .i have never forgotten about this amazing song though & never will i ever. These ladies are absolutely killing it. They are excellent artists ...natalies vocals are 🔥 and so on point ..they are all 3 just amazing 💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ i love the chicks. Their first album is epic ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is the most beautiful song that I have EVER shears! I was in love with a cowboy when I was 20 years old, in Tucson Arizona. This song brings back those bittersweet memories! I can still to this day, feel his touch in my skin, and his sweet mouth on mine!❤️

Dixie Chicks are hero's for standing up for what's right and not giving into pressure from the elite. That is a rare trait that is needed today in America.

Just got chills when the chorus kicked in the first time.. still, after all these years!!!

I love the song, i let my self loose to fantasy just to enjoy the beautiful world that exist with only good in it.

Those eyes...

Still one of my fav songs from them as a teenager and I’m now 31 years old 🙌🏼This landslide and wide open spaces

My life partner of 20 years died March 2019 and Deborah was my cowgirl. She was from TN but had moved to NYC was a classically trained pianist and got her Masters from Manhattan school of music. We both loved nature and yet we were stuck in NYC. We went on many camping trips to the adirondacks, Maine, etc, and dreamed of escaping from NYC. Well I have no relocated to Haynesville ME, pop 121. Right on the river. Deb would have loved it. Anyway this was our song. She was my cowgirl and always will be. And now when the line says "Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue Set me free, oh, I pray Closer to heaven…Closer to you" I feel as if she is still with me. I'm an old fashioned romantic. There will never be another I married her for life, my life. For 20 years I was blessed. I did not deserve her, she deserved better than me. I was blessed because she chose me to spend her life with. My greatest regret is that I sometimes put work first as I always thought we would have many tomorrows together. If you have someone you love let them know they are the most important thing in your life right now, because tomorrow may never come.

He will always b here were I was at but I gotta get away maybe I'll c my cowboy in down the road❤

Fly and Wide Open Spaces bring me back to my college days when I moved 1500 miles away from home and got me through a tough period in my life. I listened to both albums repeatedly everyday…Natalie’s voice is so powerful! I will always love them!

Im a Cowboy, and I picture myself as the man shes singing about. I just know my future wife is out there singing this song waiting for me. but only God can bring us together somehow, someway.

Ha!!! Get 'em girls. You can NEVER silence talent. Never stop telling the truth

Amazing song, for those out there that think it's about politics, well do some research. They were the original Dixie Chicks and bless them for their beautiful music. If you don't like there stance then simply just don't listen, but don't hate on people. Simply is an ignorant state of mind.

Love is a beautiful thing

Natalie Maines sings like an angel for me. What a voice.

One of my fondest memories as a young man was slow dancing in my boots with a pretty girl to this song. Her looking up at me under that old hat of mine during the chorus was pure magic.

Its so weird to say this cause im old now but this song reminds me of my girlfriend from summer after high school to like sophomore year of college. Katie. We used to listen to this shit and it just hit home back then. Long live the good old days. You move on in life but you still cherish the memories and the ones that knew you way back when. Ill never forget driving with that brunette brown eyed girl and singing this shit.

Who is from the voice us season 24 to listen the full version I love ❤🎉

One of the best country songs ever. Forget the political stuff. It's amazing 20 years later. 😍

Emily and Martie are amazingly talented on their instruments. And Natalie's voice is nearly unbelievably good - I have listened closely to a massive amount of music over the past 40 years and she's one of my favorite vocalists (and I'm only a modest fan of country). I think I could listen to her sing every day for the rest of my life. Such a rich tone and lyrical approach - it must be awesome to be able to sing like that.

This song out when i was barely a teen. My bff Nina from when elementary loved them. All i hear is hear voice

This reminds me of my first cousin who died in Jan 2024! He will be missed!

This is my all time favorite Dixie Chick song. “ I wanna sleep on the hard ground I’m the comfort of your arms On a pillow of bluebonnets And a blanket made of stars “✨ Being born and raised in Texas it fits so perfectly!

If you want to hear a FANTASTIC COVER of this song check out "Foxes and Fossils" Every song they do has been great, but this one just came out and it's just so good! Hope you enjoy it.

Yeee Haawwwwww!!

The song reminds of the time and day Jesus Christ is going to judge the injustice,and takes us home

What I love about music is that you can always discover new songs, even when they aren't. I was introduced to this yesterday and I fell in love. A timeless beautiful song ❤

This song will always hold a place in my heart. My grandmother who is in her late 70's always played it along with other songs from them. But this stood out the most. It is her favorite! She refers to them as the "chicks". 😂 I love that woman with my whole heart!

😢 need a wonderful cowboy 🤠 only him 🎉take me away 🙏💜💖

These gals have some of the most solid harmonies in the game

Who is here in 2020? All time fav song. Period ❤❤❤❤

I STILL LOVE THIS SONG ❤

Much love from Kenya

This Song Is So Beautiful And Yet Though I'm A City Boy and A Black Man, I Truly Love This Song💙💙 I Always Look Forward To Hearing This Song At Work. #😍😍😍#

Still a beautiful song...still one of the most kick-ass groups OF ALL YIME!

their vocals plus the sound violin and guitar....they are all so therapeutic!

I listen to metal and gangster rap and edm.... but i cant get over this song and its 2020

ugh country music slaps so hard

Beautiful and extremely talented. Not unlike Gillette and Bud Light, it's important to understand those who support you. You may be far from home, but if you're the Dixie Chicks, your fans are always listening. It's good to see these wonderful performers getting back to work.

I’m a proud Nigerian woman who’s son was killed by his baby mama. This song defines my life in a way many others can’t. Thank you Dixie chicks, even though I’m still searching for my cowboy to take me away!

Me and wife had been deciding to move about 1500 miles away. She played this song to me when she made up her mind. 7 years later we’re still here.

I want to see the CHICKS back at the CMA's!!!!!

I remember when this song came on the radio just released that day I was driving down the highway coming home from work 1999

When the chick's said " I wanna touch the earth, I wanna break it in my hands. I wanna grow something g wild and unruly" I felt that 🥰😆

I'm a Yankee.... danced with my first Texas girl to this song a loooooong time ago in Abilene. She taught me the two step and I've been the best dancer in Indiana ever since! 😁

I basically think that the Dixie's are wonderful and beautiful woman. Their songs all have been a part of my life.

Only 2 are "Dixie" chicks, the Fiddle & Banjo players. They are the Talent.

Lyrics I said, I wanna touch the earth I wanna break it in my hands I wanna grow something wild and unruly I wanna sleep on the hard ground In the comfort of your arms On a pillow of blue bonnets In a blanket made of stars Oh, it sounds good to me I said, cowboy take me away Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue Set me free, oh, I pray Closer to heaven above and closer to you Closer to you I wanna walk and not run I wanna skip and not fall I wanna look at the horizon and not see a building standing tall I wanna be the only one for miles and miles Except for maybe you and your simple smile Oh, it sounds good to me Yes, it sounds so good to me Cowboy take me away Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue Set me free, oh, I pray Closer to heaven above and closer to you Closer to you I said, I wanna touch the earth I wanna break it in my hands I wanna grow something wild and unruly Oh, it sounds so good to me Cowboy take me away Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue Set me free, oh, I pray Closer to heaven above and closer to you Closer to you Closer to you Cowboy take me away Closer to you

All these years later and this song is still so wonderful to me.

This song has always been music straight to my soul. Thank you for staying you and coming back to us after everything. Your fans love you and need your talent in life. God bless you all and thank you for you. This song in particular helped me appreciate farmland, love and family, as well as my childhood. Take care!

Still the Dixie Chicks forever!!

Thank you Dixie Chicks. You are pure perfection.

April 24, 2019. Lost my cowboy, but this song always brings him back to me.

I loved this band on glastonbury .2023. Love country music .
