Evangeline |
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 beauty and her innocence a credit to the South |
Evangeline! |
I could not believe, she was gone when I returned |
The forest’s evening chorus 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! |
