Evangeline Lyrics
Baby, give it all
I'd give it all just to make you mine
And if you need a minute
Honey, I'll give you all my time all the time
Do you need the Sandman?
Or a phone call to Mr. Jones? Oh
I'll put your dreams to sleep
With rattlin' bones
[Chorus]
So don't go to sleep, don't rest your head
I'll be the pillow and I'll be the bed
Holdin' your dreams as you lie to rest
Evangeline, Evangeline
Don't go to sleep, don't rest your head
I'll be the pillow and I'll be the bed
Holdin' your dreams as you lie to rest
Evangeline
[Verse 2]
Anybody, call a doctor
I'm a thousand degrees in lovе, oh
And I'm sick of all the guessin'
Between thе two of us
You're my angel in the doorway
I couldn't bear to lose you
And if you're so in love
Honey, why stay refused?
So don't go to sleep, don't rest your head
I'll be the pillow and I'll be the bed
Holdin' your dreams as you lie to rest
Evangeline, Evangeline
Don't go to sleep, don't rest your head
I'll be the pillow and I'll be the bed
Holdin' your dreams as you lie to rest
Evangeline

In a Rolling Stone article, Stephen Sanchez explained:
Nick Lobel sampled the 10-second intro of Bobby Goldsboro’s song, “Honey”, and put together a verse and chorus for me to hear in the studio. Once I heard that, I felt immediately inspired. The song came to life in 15 minutes.
Sampling is not something I’ve ever done, nor have I felt moved to pursue, but it was honestly a happy accident that day. Even the way I performed it was extremely new for me. This song really made music fun for me again. It’s opened a world and lore I’m excited to invite fans into.
