Evangeline Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Still the man I was
Just a little more grey
A little more stained
A little less stained from a buzz
Still chasing a song
Between the verse and the bridge
I know life is just a chorus to sing along

[Pre-Chorus]
And some times 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 wild
Dunk my head into the river
Raise your hands, all hail rock ‘n’ roll
Change my life, wash me clean away
The truth of a guitar picker
For the songs he sings
I’m glad to give my soul

[Verse 2]
Evangeline on the mandolin like bleeding in
Through the stained glass of my heart
Song she hums stuck in my head
Raise the dead, bring a blind man out of the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I feel like a candle in the wind
Sometimes I’ve just adjusted to that way it rolls
When the circle spins unbroken
My stand must be golden
And go back to when she was still mine to hold

[Chorus]
Take me down to the wild
Dunk my head into the river
Raise your hands, all hail rock ‘n’ roll
Change my life, wash me clean away
The fait of a amen whisper
For the songs she sings
I’m glad to give my soul

[Bridge]
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 wild
Dunk my head into the river
Raise your hands, all hail rock ‘n’ roll
Change my life, wash everything
When I sing the hymms of neon breaker
Wash the blood from the wood of this six string

[Outro]
Yeah, evangeline
Yeah, evangeline

Evangeline Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
Eric Church reflects on how time has changed him—grayer, wearier, but still committed to his craft. He describes himself as a man chasing songs, acknowledging that life itself is like a familiar chorus. There’s a sense of weathered resilience, with subtle nods to both personal aging and the enduring passion for music.

[Pre-Chorus]
Church expresses the unpredictability of life, comparing his experience to swinging between spiritual highs and emotional lows. The unbroken circle represents life’s continuity, while the notion of running into oneself hints at self-confrontation and the recurring nature of personal trials.

[Chorus]
This section calls for a transformative release—baptism in wildness and devotion to rock ‘n’ roll. Church portrays music as a sacred act capable of washing away his past. His willingness to “give his soul” underscores how deeply intertwined his identity is with the songs he sings.

[Verse 2]
“Evangeline” emerges as a transcendent figure whose mandolin playing penetrates Church’s heart like stained glass light. She is both memory and muse—evoking resurrection and revelation. Her song stirs something eternal in him, a spiritual force that revives the lost and guides the blind.

[Pre-Chorus]
Church likens himself to a fragile flame or someone shaped by chaos, suggesting vulnerability. Yet he’s also striving to find strength by anchoring to a time when Evangeline was still close. The golden stand suggests an idealized past or moral high ground that he longs to reclaim.

[Chorus]
The second chorus shifts slightly, framing Evangeline as a whisper of faith. Her music becomes a divine presence, with Church once again surrendering himself to its emotional truth. The soul-giving remains a central act of devotion.

[Bridge]
This passage builds on spiritual awakening. Church sings of redemption through music—when voices lift, when hope is found, and when impurities are cleansed. The repetition of “with the sound” links all transformation back to the sacred power of song.

[Chorus]
In the final chorus, Church intensifies his plea. He seeks to be purified through music, singing hymns that break boundaries—”neon breaker” possibly symbolizing a clash between secular and sacred. The act of cleansing the six-string of its metaphorical blood ties back to musical sacrifice and salvation.

[Outro]
The repetition of “Evangeline” is almost prayer-like. It’s a reverent, lingering invocation of the figure who has come to symbolize not just a woman, but the spiritual essence of the music that saves him.
