Evangeline (Demo Version)

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 and climbed inside

She didn't make a sound

[Chorus]

Evangeline

Evangeline

Evangeline

Well soon we started talkin'

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

The named me after what they loved

So the world would understand

[Chorus]

We stopped just passed the crossroads

She thanked me once again

I didn't want to leave her

But I drove on just the same

I thought about her story

Words whispered from her mouth

Her beauty and her innocents

Where credit to her sound

[Chorus]

I could not believe

She was gone when I returned

The forest evening chorus

was the only sound I heard

Now if you ever see her

Be sure to say hello

Her level thumb

My stop you

If you're westbound and alone

[Chorus]
