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

'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
