Evangeline Lyrics - Singles - Icicle Works

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 choruse 

Was the only sound I heard 

Now if you ever see her 

Be sure to say hello 

Her leveled thumb may stop you 

If you're Westbound and alone 

Evangeline
