Story Behind The Song
I met my wife in a bar and she came home with me. We both took a risk which worked out. Evie is about that risk.
Song Description
Evie asks a question and gives an answer. Evie starts by asking 'Where does it come from, the feeling that we can do no wrong?' and supplies the answer in the chorus 'Evie, I guess you were right'. Instrumentation is classic rock acoustio and electric guitars with some strings and horns. Simple structure to give room for lyrical content. Very catchy one word chorus in popular key. Easily translates to any language

Lyrics
Where does it come from
The feeling that we can do no wrong
It's a new love song
Take it take it take it take it away
I believed I was
So right when I was so wrong
That's my confidence
Blew you blew you blew you blew you away
I guess you were right
To be wrong with me
Evie
Take a right turn here
Stop at the end of the road here
I used to live here
Running, running, running, running away
Look over my shoulder
Feeling a little bit older
That's a long time now
Life time, life time, lifetime away
I guess that you were right
To come along with me
Evie
Yes I guess that you were right to be wrong with me
