Analysis of Hands in the Wind
Heather Hickman 1991 (Montana)
Nothing but the mountains ahead
And the troubles behind
Your best friend riding shotgun
With dust trails in the rear view
The sunset’s on the horizon
Your hair’s blowing in the breeze
The dog’s in the back
howling at the moon
The tunes on the radio
Carry through the truck
A special playlist
Just for tonight
One hand on the wheel
And the other in the wind
Your belting the song
At the top of your lungs
Slowing down only for the corners
Just us and the road
There’s no destination
No end goal
We can go anywhere
And the headlights will take us there
The tunes on the radio
Carry through the truck
A special playlist
Just for tonight
One hand on the wheel
And the other in the wind
