[Verse 1]
Still the man I was
Just a little more gray
A little more stained
A little less sting in my buzz
Still chasin' a song
Between the verse and the bridge
I know life is just a chorus to sing along

[Pre-Chorus]
And sometimes I think
I’m knocking on the door of heaven
And sometimes it feels like a highway to hell
And the circle spins unbroken
And we all live wide open
'Til we run right back into ourselves

[Chorus]
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’m glad to give my soul
[Verse 2]
Evangeline on the mandolin
Light bleedin' 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, sometimes I feel like a candle in the wind
And sometimes I’ve just adjusted to that way it rolls
And the circle spins unbroken
'Til my stayin' must be goin'
And it goes back to when she was still mine to hold

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Oh (oh)
Yeah when an angel sings
When the lost gets found
When the dirt gets clean
With the sound, with the sound
[Chorus]
Take me down to the water
Dunk my head into the river
All hail rock 'n' roll
Change my life, wash everything
When I sing the hymns of neon drifter
Wash the blood from the wood of this six string soul

[Outro]
Yeah, Evangeline
Yeah, Evangeline
