Evangeline Lyrics

Baby, let's get a little two-lane-crazy tonight
We got a bottle of low-rent rum and one taillight
That will probably be there when you wake up
But you can sleep on my shoulder in your makeup
Baby, let's get a little two-lane-crazy tonight

Ride with me down to Louisiana
Roll with me down to New Orleans
We'll dip our toes in the Mississippi River
Ride with me, Evangeline

If we leave right now they'll never even know we're gone
And you say you ain't never been south of McComb
We'll drive all night to get there
Watch the sun come up from Jackson Square
If we leave right now they'll never even know we're gone

Ride with me down to Louisiana
Roll with me down to New Orleans
We'll dip our toes in the Mississippi River
Ride with me, Evangeline

Baby, let me show you the streets that gave you your name
Your name

Ride with me down to Louisiana
Roll with me down to New Orleans
We'll dip our toes in the Mississippi River
Ride with me, ride with me
Won't you ride with me down to Louisiana
Roll with me down to New Orleans
We'll dip our toes in the Mississippi River (In the Mississippi River)
Ride with me, Evangeline
Won't you ride with me down to Louisiana
Roll with me down to New Orleans
We'll dip our toes in the Mississippi River (In the Mississippi River)
Ride with me, Evangeline

(Won't you ride with me)
