(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!
