"Cowboy Take Me Away" is a song written by Martie Seidel and Marcus Hummon, and recorded by American country music group Dixie Chicks. It was released in November 1999 as the second single from their album ''Fly''. The song's title is derived from a famous slogan used in commercials for Calgon bath and beauty products. It reached number one on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart in February 2000. ==Content== Driven by co-writer Martie Seidel's violin, Emily Robison's banjo, and Natalie Maines' evocative vocals, "Cowboy Take Me Away" quickly became one of the trio's signature songs. The lyric deals with a mixture of yearning for greater tranquility: :''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 with plaintive desire for emotional, romantic connection, and simple joyous acceptance against a minor chord turning into major: :''Oh it sounds good to me, yeah it sounds so good to me :''Cowboy, take me away ... Starting with a quiet opening, the record ramps up to a mid-tempo country-pop groove and features violin breaks from Seidel as well as an exuberant outro. Maines was praised for a "sincere" vocal that escaped the clichés of "Nashville music-factory tearjerkers".〔(Dixie Chicks: Fly )〕 "Cowboy Take Me Away" has become a staple of the Chicks' concert set lists, appearing from the Fly Tour onwards. Cowboy Take Me Away played on a number of local christian radio stations in Uganda 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cowboy Take Me Away」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
