  • I'm still the man that I was
    Just a little more grey, a little more stay
    A little less sting in my buzz
    Still chasing a song
    Between a verse and a bridge
    I know life is just a chorus we sing along

    And sometimes I think I'm knocking on the door of Heaven
    And sometimes I feel like a highway to Hell
    And the circle spins unbroken, and we all run wide open
    'Til we run right back into ourselves

    Take me down to the water, dunk my head into the river
    Raise your hands, all hail rock 'n' roll
    Change my life, wash me clean with
    The truth of a guitar picker
    For the songs he sings, I'll gladly give my soul

    Evangeline
    On a Banjolin
    Light bleeding in
    Through the stained glass of my heart
    The song she hums
    Stuck in my head
    Could raise the dead
    Bring a blind man out of the dark

    Yeah, sometimes I feel like a candle in the wind
    And sometimes I'm just the dust that that wind blows
    And the circle spins unbroken 'til my staying must be going
    And it goes back to when she was still mine to hold

    Take me down to the water, dunk my head into the river
    Raise your hands, all hail rock 'n' roll
    Change my life, wash me clean with
    The faith of an amen whisper
    For the songs she sings, I'll gladly give my soul

    Oh
    Oh
    Oh, I won't
    Oh

    Yeah, where the angels sing
    Where the lost get found (where the lost get found)
    Where the dirt gets clean (where the dirt gets clean)
    With the sound
    With the sound going down

    Take me down to the water, dunk my head into the river
    All hail rock 'n' roll
    I change my life, wash everything
    When I sing the hymns of a neon drifter
    Wash the blood from the wood of this six-string soul

    Yeah
    Evangeline
    Yeah
    Evangeline
