dawes - st. augustine at night كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
the cherry gum would cover up the cigarettes we smoked
the 7-up would balance out the beer
mom would make us dinner, and we’d all try not to choke
dad was working later every year

[verse 2]
we count the trucks on highway 1 on their way to jacksonville
wonderin’ where they headed on from there
my brothers and my sister all stood spiritually still
as if those roads became the answers to their prayers

[chorus 1]
but i didn’t want it any other way
this town was the one thing that felt right
all these tourists could be kings during the day
but not in st. augustine at night

[verse 3]
i was working at the bait shack, supplying all the fishing tours
pretty soon i was chartering a boat
my dad said i needed dumb luck and a secret stash of coors
if i stood a chance at keeping things afloat

[verse 4]
that’s when my girlfriend told mem “there’s a baby on the way
and i need to know you’re gonna go to bat.”
well, i never put off ’til tomorrow the things i shoulda done today
no, i’ve always waited way longer than that

[chorus 2]
i have never had much say in how i felt
i’ve been guided by my ballroom appet-tes
so if this world belongs to everybody else
just leave me st. augustine at night

[verse 5]
the lord must really love us common folk
’cause he made so godd-mn much
now, if he’d just point the way to go
if he’d could just start speaking up

[verse 6]
our oldest brother left this world for leaving one too many lives
i guess he settled for none at all
the rest of us just grew apart and blamed our husbands and our wives
when anyone was asked why they don’t call

[verse 7]
and life became a series of birthdays, cars, and pets
just anything to look forward to
i don’t talk about mistakes. i don’t talk about regrets
at this point, i’m not sure what good it would do

[chorus 3]
but i’m not asking for anybody’s help
as i gaze out where the stars dance with the lights
if i’m not sure how i feel about myself
i still got st. augustine at night
i still got st. augustine at night

- dawes
