[Gregory Alan Isakov - Evelyn lyrics]
All the tables nice and clean
Evelyn's asleep
On the grave yard shift again
Selling gasoline
And there's kids smoking on south first
See high school was just a blur, to her
And everything just found their
Place it seemed
There's an old folk song on the radio
Sounding thin and dark and haunted
Theres a bag of weed in
The back beneath the books
And she can't stand the
Sight of this cul-de-sac
Like an old crow, king of the lamp-post
And this window hasn't been this
Clean since it last rained
Well, she pictures up a different day
Driving west to east LA
And there ain't no sign of a dime, but hey
Anyone can dream anyone can dream
And all the college girls come in when
The bars let out and they’re hungry
Making such a mess
Evelyn just talks trash as she's sweeping up
There's a thin dark cloud in the evening air
After every sunny day
There's a bum who lives in the parking lot
Wash the windows just to say hey
All the tables nice and clean
Evelyn's asleep
On the grave yard shift again
Selling gasoline
Evelyn's asleep
On the grave yard shift again
Selling gasoline
And there's kids smoking on south first
See high school was just a blur, to her
And everything just found their
Place it seemed
There's an old folk song on the radio
Sounding thin and dark and haunted
Theres a bag of weed in
The back beneath the books
And she can't stand the
Sight of this cul-de-sac
Like an old crow, king of the lamp-post
And this window hasn't been this
Clean since it last rained
Well, she pictures up a different day
Driving west to east LA
And there ain't no sign of a dime, but hey
Anyone can dream anyone can dream
And all the college girls come in when
The bars let out and they’re hungry
Making such a mess
Evelyn just talks trash as she's sweeping up
There's a thin dark cloud in the evening air
After every sunny day
There's a bum who lives in the parking lot
Wash the windows just to say hey
All the tables nice and clean
Evelyn's asleep
On the grave yard shift again
Selling gasoline
