Evangeline

(album: Honky Tonk Boots - 2006)

She's been here Working all summer long
Pumping gas For the boats on the Caux de Blanche
She's so brown from being in the sun all day
And boys from town Hang around her pa-paw's place (and they all say)

Hey you can see here down at the boondocks
Walking up the pier in her flip flops
Tying up the lines in her tank top
Dipping out the bait at the bait shop

Well ever y boy around would love to say that girl's mine
But sum mer's gonna end I know
Oh we gonna miss you so
Wish you didn't have to go? Evangeline

It won't be long
She'll be going back to school
Going home
All the way to Baton Rouge
Well her pa-paw
Says he'll get along the best he can
And all the boys
Will be so broken hearted then ('til it's summer again)

Hey you can see here down at the boondocks
Walking up the pier in her flip flops
Tying up the lines in her tank top
Dipping out the bait at the bait shop
Well every boy around would love to say that girl's mine
But summer's gonna end I know
Oh we gonna miss you so
Wish you didn't have to go? Evangeline

Well every boy around would love to say that girl's mine
But summer's gonna end I know
Oh we gonna miss you so
Wish you didn't have to go? Evangeline
Girl I'm gonna miss you so? Evangeline
