Verse 2
(G major)
We count the trucks on Highway 1 on
their (C major) way to Jacksonville
Wonderin' where they
headed (G major) on from there (D major)

stood spiritually (C major) still (E minor)
As if those road (G major) s became the
an (D major) swers to their prayers (G major)

(D major)
But I didn't want it any (A minor) other way (C major)

(G major) But not in St. Augustine at night

Verse 4
I was (G major) working at the bait shack,
supplying (C major) all the fishing tours
Pretty soon I was chartering (G major) a boat (D major)
My (G major) dad said I needed dumb luck and
a secret (C major) stash of (D major) (E minor) Coors
If I stood (G major) a chance at (D major) keeping
things afloat
(G major)
Verse 5
That's when my girlfriend told me
"There's a (C major) baby on the way
And I need to know you're
gon (G major) na go to bat" (D major)

things I shoulda (C major) done (D major) today (E minor)
No, I've always (G major) waited
way (D major) longer than that
(G major)
Verse 6
(D major)
I have never had much say (A minor) in how I felt
(G major) I've been guided (C major) by my
bar (G major) room appetites (D major) (G major)
So if this world belongs to
every (C major) body (D major) else (C major) (E minor)
Just leave (G major) me St. (D major) Augustine at night
(G major)
Verse 7
(F major)
The Lord must really love
us com (G major) mon folk
'Cause he made (C major) so (G major) (D major) goddamn (G major) much (C major)
Now, if he'd (D major) just point the way (E minor) to go (C major)
If he'd could just start speaking up
(D major)
Verse 8
Our (G major) oldest brother left this world
for leading (C major) one too many lives
I guess he settled (G major) for none at all (D major)
The (G major) rest of us just grew apart and blamed
our (C major) husbands and our wives (E minor)
When anyone (G major) was asked (D major)
why they don't call
(G major)
Verse 9
And life became a series of (C major) birthdays,
cars, and pets
Just anything (G major) to look forward to (D major)
I (G major) don't talk about mistakes
I don't talk (C major) about regret (E minor) s
At this point, (G major)
I'm not sure what (D major) good it would do
(G major)
Verse 10
(D major)
And I'm not asking for anybody's (A minor) help (C major)
(G major) As I gaze (C major) out where the stars
(G major) dance with the light (D major) s (G major)
If I'm not sure how I feel
(C major) about (D major) myself (E minor)
I still (G major) got St. (D major) Augustine at night (E minor) (C major)
Oh, I still (G major) got St. (D major) Augustine at night
