[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D]
[G][C][Em][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]The cherry gum
would cover up the cigar[C]ettes we smoked
The 7-Up would [G]balance out the [D]beer
[G]Mom would make us dinner,
and we'd all [C]try not to [Em]choke
[G]Dad was working [D]later every [G]year

[Verse 2]
[G]
We count the trucks on Highway 1 on
their [C]way to Jacksonville
Wonderin' where they
[G]headed on from [D]there
[G]My brothers and my sister all
stood [C]spiritually [Em]still
As if those [G]roads became the
an[D]swers to their [G]prayers

[Verse 3]
[D]
But I didn't want it [Am]any other w[C]ay
This town was the [G]one thing that felt [D]right[G]
All these tourists could be king
[C]s during the day[Em]
[G]But not in St. Augustine at night

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][D]

[Verse 4]
I was [G]working at the bait shack,
supplying [C]all the fishing tours
Pretty soon I was [G]chartering a [D]boat
My [G]dad said I needed dumb luck and
a [C]secret stash [D]of [Em]Coors
If I [G]stood a chance at [D]keeping
things afloat
[G]

[Verse 5]
That's when my girlfriend told me
"There's a [C]baby on the way
And I need to know you're
[G]gonna go to [D]bat"
Well, I [G]never put off 'til tomorrow the
things I [C]shoulda done [D]today[Em]
No, I've [G]always waited
[D]way longer than that
[G]

[Verse 6]
[D]
I have never had much [Am]say in how I felt
[G]I've been gui[C]ded by my
bar[G]room appet[D]ites[G]
So if this world belongs to
[C]every[D]body [C]else[Em]
Just [G]leave me St. [D]Augustine at night
[G]

[Verse 7]
[F]
The Lord must really love
us com[G]mon folk
'Cause he [C]made [G]so [D]god[G]damn [C]much
Now, if [D]he'd just point the [Em]way to g[C]o
If he'd could just start speaking up
[D]

[Verse 8]
Our [G]oldest brother left this world
for leading [C]one too many lives
I guess [G]he settled for none at [D]all
The [G]rest of us just grew apart and blamed
our [C]husbands and our [Em]wives
When [G]anyone was [D]asked
why they don't call
[G]

[Verse 9]
And life became a series of [C]birthdays,
cars, and pets
Just [G]anything to look forward [D]to
I [G]don't talk about mistakes
I don't [C]talk about [Em]regrets
At this [G]point,
I'm not sure [D]what good it would do
[G]

[Verse 10]
[D]
And I'm not asking for [Am]anybody's [C]help
[G]As I gaz[C]e out where the stars
[G]dance with the lig[D]hts[G]
If I'm not sure how I feel
[C]about mys[D]elf[Em]
[G]I still got St. [D]Augustine at [Em]night[C]
Oh, [G]I still got St. [D]Augustine at night

[Outro 1]
[G][C]
