...The Dude...
I am a huge country music fan and every now and then I come across songs that I just sing for days. I listened to "Cowboy Take Me Away" the other day and was like "Oh. My. Gosh. I need to do a shoot and use this song!" Happily, Dude cleared his schedule and modeled for me :DNow, I have said it before and it will never change, but, I love this kid. So, so much.
All of these poses - yes, he did them himself. I literally did not tell him to do anything.
How stinking cute is he?!?!
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 bluebonnets
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
