Lyrics

Evangeline

Colorado snow ? big flakes blowing
Holed up cold ? in an old café
A deer head mounted ? over a fireplace glowing
A place to stay warm ? till the storm would break

A pot roast (turkey) dinner ? a sympathetic waitress
With auburn curls ? and big green eyes
We talked all night ? like there was no tomorrow
And when the storm broke ? I promised to write

Chorus:
I should be going Evangeline ? I should be gone
But things like this ? won?t happen twice
I staying on Evangeline ? I?ll stick around
And follow my heart ? where it takes my life
Gonna follow my heart ? where it takes my life

I tossed a coin ? at the wishing well
And checked into the Cold Creek Hotel
After some sleep ? and a steaming hot bath
I walked to the café ? and never looked back

Chorus

Bridge:
Now we got a little bungalow ? in this sleepy alpine town
And in the shadow of the summit ? so much love has been found

The future holds no guarantee ? there?s no claim you can make
And I am a fortunate man - for I have found my place

Chorus
