[Verse 1]
G# C#
The cherry gum would cover up the cigarettes we smoked
G# D#
The 7-Up would balance out the beer
G# C# C#/C Fm
Mom would make us dinner, and we'd all try not to choke
G# D# G#
Dad was working later every year
[Verse 2]
G# C#
We count the trucks on Highway 1 on their way to Jacksonville
G# D#
Wonderin’ where they headed on from there
G# C# C#/C Fm
My brothers and my sister all stood spiritually still
G# D# G#
As if those roads became the answers to their prayers
[Chorus 1]
D# C# A#m7
But I didn't want it any other way
C# G# D#
This town was the one thing that felt right
G# C# C#/C Fm
All these tourists could be kings during the day
G# D# G#
But not in St. Augustine at night
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
G# C#
I was working at the bait shack, supplying all the fishing tours
G# D#
Pretty soon I was chartering a boat
G# C# C#/C Fm
My dad said I needed dumb luck and a secret stash of Coors
G# D# G#
If I stood a chance at keeping things afloat
[Verse 4]
G# C#
That's when my girlfriend told me “There’s a baby on the way
G# D#
And I need to know you're gonna go to bat.”
G# C# C#/C Fm
Well, I never put off 'til tomorrow the things I shoulda done today
G# D# G#
No, I've always waited way longer than that
[Chorus 2]
D# C# A#m7
I have never had much say in how I felt
C# G# D#
I've been guided by my barroom appetites
G# C# C#/C Fm
So if this world belongs to everybody else
G# D# G#
Just leave me St. Augustine at night
[Bridge]
F# G#
The Lord must really love us common folk
C# G# D# G# C#
'cause he made so goddamn much
C# D# Fm
Now, if he'd just point the way to go
C# G# D#
If he'd could just start speaking up
[Verse 5]
G# C#
Our oldest brother left this world for leading one too many lives
G# D#
I guess he settled for none at all
G# C# C#/C Fm
The rest of us just grew apart and blamed our husbands and our wives
G# D# G#
When anyone was asked why they don’t call
[Verse 6]
G# C#
Life became a series of birthdays, cars, and pets
G# D#
Just anything to look forward to
G# C# C#/C Fm
I don’t talk about mistakes. I don't talk about regrets
G# D# G#
At this point, I’m not sure what good it would do
[Chorus 3]
D# C# A#m7
And I'm not asking for anybody's help
C# G# D#
As I gaze out where the stars dance with the lights
G# C# C#/C Fm
If I'm not sure how I feel about myself
G# D# Fm C#
I still got St. Augustine at night
[Outro]
G# D# G#
Oh, I still got St. Augustine at night
