Wild in the Wind
Written by Tommy Atkins and Anna Pearson

First days, first drinks
Learning it all with you
First cars, first loves
We didn’t have a clue
You’re in every memory, so it don’t seem right
To go on living my life without you by my side

I loved you, my friend
And what I wouldn’t give to see you again
To me, you’ll always be seventeen
Sitting in the shotgun seat
And smiling
Your hair wild in the wind

Always looking on the brighter side of life
And when I couldn’t, I saw it through your eyes
Catching flights and feelings, travelling the world
Never settled down, but still you got the girl

I loved you, my friend
And what I wouldn’t give to see you again
To me, you’ll always be seventeen
Sitting in the shotgun seat
And smiling
Your hair wild in the wind

And I just want to thank you for a lifetime
Of having my back and punching my arm every time I cried
And I miss you, boy
I miss you so much

I loved you my friend
And what I wouldn’t give to see you again
You’re here with me as we set you free
I’m smiling
You’re flying wild in the wind
Wild in the wind…
