Good evening, Evangeline Rose
My you're looking beautiful, In your ribbons and bows.
Been missing you, out here on the road,

So many things to say to you, Things you should know

But honestly these words I speak

Said on the phone when I'm long gone
Just don't say what I need you to hear
don't worry if my words aren't clear

When I hang up this phone
I'm comin' home


Good evening, Evangeline Rose
My how the days pass so fast, my how you've grown
And I'm wondering, how long you've known

That you give me all the reason and the rhyme
With a simple hello


But when I'm gone, one day's too long
I miss so much, I can't touch
The moments, the laughter, the pain

there's so much I can't explain
Right here right now on the phone
I'm comin' home


And these tires on the road they hum a melody so sweet
And they whisper words that only you would say

And though they take me from the only place I ever felt complete
My dear, they always take me home


Good evening, Evangeline Rose
My you're looking beautiful, in your ribbons and bows
As you take my arm, I smile and you know

That I can give your hand away today
But I'll never let you go


And honestly, I cannot speak
My little girl, my whole world
Time stood still, for a while

Watch you walking down the aisle
My sweet Evangeline Rose
it's good to be home
