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

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