Lucky Mud: Music

Evangeline

(Lucky Mud)

CHORUS: She said you can call me Evangeline
Or Angelina, I don't mind
As long as you make the whiskey flow
Then I'll be yours and you'll be mine

Another rainy Tampa night
I fooled around and missed my flight
No real reason to get back home
I drove toward the city lights

Found an empty Causeway bar
A lonely man in a rented car
I ignored the darkness in her eyes
All alone behind the bar
CHORUS

An hour's talking led to two
She never asked me what I do
She said, "I don't want to know your name
And I won't fall in love with you"

We walked down to the water line
And she put her hand in mine
Before the dark skies turned to blue
I fell in love with Evangeline

But I won't tell a soul about Angelina
'Cause I know just what they'd say
'Look at the man who gets
Everything he wants
And all he wants
Is the one that got away

I Said I have a plane that leaves today
But I would really like to stay
But the lovely Evangeline
Just kissed my lips
And walked away
CHORUS
