Warin - Quakies Lyrics

Just like the wind through the quakies
I left you at eighteen
For stars and their stripes
I couldn't deny like the green in your eyes

Hello there, Wasatch
How've you been since I left
I just rolled to town to see you again
Against the wind and Cheyenne
Rode the brakes down Parley's
There's nothing like the view of the valley at the bend

Just like the wind through the quakies
I left you at eighteen
For stars and their stripes
I couldn't deny like the green in your eyes
We had mountains to climb, but the valley was wide
We couldn't get past the continental divide

A match oh for heaven
So we thought when we were young
Sandy held my heart in the palm of her hand
When I left for basic, she wrote me letters for a while
But as time goes, so does distant love

Just like the wind through the quakies
I left you at eighteen
For stars and their stripes
I couldn't deny like the green in your eyes
We had mountains to climb, but the valley was wide
We couldn't get past the continental divide

All of those times I drove I-80
Just so you could see me
Like the time I went awol on accident

All of those late nights, drives by the dashboard
Singing every word to Hands Down
The good old days
And, howI'll remember us now

Just like the wind through the quakies
I left you at eighteen
For stars and their stripes
I couldn't deny like the green in your eyes
