The Tragically Hip

Evelyn-Evelyn
Where were you last night?
Evelyn-Evelyn
Where were you last night?

waited on your front porch till the break of day
but when the dawn broke I could no longer wait for...

must have phoned a million times no answer came
what kind of fool am I to play this game with...

this has gone on before
I can't take it no more
I'll even up the score and
get away from...

if you must have your way you won't have me
I won't be pushed around I must get free from...

You know the reasons I can't conceal
You know I'm leaving you
obviously you know how I feel
it's not as easy as calling out your name when I'm down

it's not a matter for wrong or right
it ain't much better that drinking and looking to fight
you know I'm tired of crawling hind my name among the crowd

I'm on the last American exit to the northland
I'm on the last American exit to my homeland
I'm on the last American exit to my last chance
they keep calling out my name-shout it down

you've made them wonder and know for sure
you've made them hunger at night and then run for the door
you know you'll probably cry like Caesar's son when
you're found

it's not your place it's another town
let's face it baby I'm up and then baby I'm down
you'll watch the border offer you fame and watch you drown

know your neighbors and know they'll take us
know my city it's just like theirs are
hope I make it. I know I'm going to make it somehow
know my saviour he knows you shakers
know my pity. I'll see you later
I'd like to stay but I know it doesn't matter somehow

They keep callin out my name
They keep callin out my name
They keep callin out my name
I shout it down

I'm going down to see my highway girl
she just back from around the world
I'm gonna get me a gun, I'm gonna stand on guard
in a little white booth in her front yard

throwing rocks at her window what could she do
if I throw enough rocks one might break through
well she looked out her window when the police came
to see a big tin man dancing in the rain

Oh my little highway girl
Oh my little highway girl

she said, don't you think babe you push a bit too fast
I said, slowing down don't make it last
and a memory's never gonna set you free
go out an see that world and bring it home to me

Oh my little highway girl
Oh my little highway girl
Oh my little highway girl
Oh my little highway girl

I had heart, but I used to be older
I'm not like I used to be
had you, but I guess its all over
you talk, but you're not like me.

you talk and you talk like some weird saint
what do you think that we could taint?
when you're nothing I am and I'm something you ain't

hold me, until the night makes colder
tell me, how life's made you bad
kick me when I choke and I smolder
when I'm not what you had.

I'm looking for a Cemetery sideroad
I'm screaming like a lighthouse lamp
I'm chasing after what I think I'm owed
like a french foreign tramp
you swim in an ocean that's storming
you eat when the wolves all do
you ache like a mother mourning
when you're left alone with you.
