**Little Things, Big Sky** [Verse 1] The tire hisses. I pull aside. Dust hits the hood. Cars rush by. A woman stops in a battered truck. She points at the wheel. I say, “Good luck.” [Pre-Chorus] One bolt won't move. We lean. It gives. She wipes her hands on her faded jeans. [Chorus] Little things. Big sky. A wrench turns. A hawk flies by. Little things. Big sky. Hot road. Cold drink. We laugh. We try. Hey, hey. The wheel rolls right. Little things. Big sky. [Verse 2] She finds a bottle beneath her seat. The cap snaps off. We drink in the heat. Her radio spits half of a song. She knows the words. I get them wrong. [Pre-Chorus] She sings it twice. I catch the tune. The last bolt turns. The truck door booms. [Chorus] Little things. Big sky. A wrench turns. A hawk flies by. Little things. Big sky. Hot road. Cold drink. We laugh. We try. Hey, hey. The wheel rolls right. Little things. Big sky. [Instrumental Break] [Electric guitar answers the vocal hook] [Bridge] I hold the wrench out. She shakes her head. “Keep it,” she says. “It rattles less.” I toss it down beside my bag. She starts her truck. I follow back. [Final Chorus] Little things. Big sky. Two cars pull out. A hawk flies by. Little things. Big sky. Her brake lights blink. Mine blink twice. Hey, hey. The road runs wide. Little things. Big sky. [Outro] Two red lights. One bend. No more cars.
