St. Augustine at Night Dawes

[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 answer 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 me, "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
