Icicle Works Evangeline Lyrics

Evangeline Lyrics

(McNabb)



It was sometime after midnight

I was looking for a friend

My headlights lit her body by some pine trees on a bend

I slowed down right beside her

I turned the music down

She looked around then climbed inside

She didn't make a sound



Evangeline!



Well, soon we started talking

I asked her for her name

She said it's not important but I'll tell you anyway

My Mother loved the bayou

My Daddy worked the land

They named me after what they loved

So the world would understand



Evangeline!



We stopped just past the crossroads

She thanked me once again

I didn't wanna leave her but I drove on just the same

I thought about her story

Words whispered from her mouth

Her bauty and her innocence a credit to the South



Evangeline!



I could not believe, she was gone when I returned

The forest's evening choruse was the only sound I heard

Now if you ever see her,

Be sure to say hello

Her levelled thumb may stop you if you're Westbound and alone



Evangeline!
