[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/B Em
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/B Em
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 Am7
But I didn't want it any other way
C G D
This town was the one thing that felt right
G C C/B Em
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/B Em
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/B Em
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 Am7
I have never had much say in how I felt
C G D
I've been guided by my barroom appetites
G C C/B Em
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 Em
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/B Em
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/B Em
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 Am7
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/B Em
If I'm not sure how I feel about myself
G D Em C
I still got St. Augustine at night
[Outro]
G D G
Oh, I still got St. Augustine at night
G Gadd11 G* Gadd11 G Gadd9 C
