Evangelina Songtext
von Them Coulee Boys

My Evangelina, said brother have you seen her?
She′s been using different names and hanging round
With guys that I don't care for
That she met at the airport
She forgets the second she gets out of town

Evangelina waves at all the Wal-mart greeters
But she swears under her breath at their dirty looks
Give you her best, but she′ll bring out your worst
She don't do her loving by the book

My Evangelina, the girls all want to be her
She's got eyes that see it all in black and white
It′s not from her nostalgia
It′s in the way she pulls her bra up
Before she steps into the solitary night


Evangelina waves at all the Wal-mart greeters
But she swears under her breath at their dirty looks
Give you her best, but she'll bring out your worst
She don′t do her loving by the book

My Evangelina, left her guitar at theater
Spends her nights standing in lights set just for her
Days behind a counter
Sees the beauty all around her
Writes a love song for every customer

Evangelina waves at all the Wal-mart greeters
But she swears under her breath at their dirty looks
Give you her best, but she'll bring out your worst
She don′t do her loving by the book

My Evangelina, swore she's not a ballerina
But she′s standing on her toes so she can see
The guy off in the distance, in her future existence
The guy who don't look anything like me

Evangelina waves at all the Wal-mart greeters
But she swears under her breath at their dirty looks
Give you her best, but she'll bring out your worst
She don′t do her loving by the book
