"St. Augustine" lyrics

"St. Augustine"

If I scream at the top of my lungs
Do you think my friends'll hear me back home
And the answers on the tip of my tongue
And I won't find it if I spend tonight alone
There's a light inside my car that won't turn on
No matter how hard I shut both the doors
Ain't it funny how we just can't seem to shake
All the people we don't wanna be no more
Met an old friend at a college baseball game
And we talked just like we will when we are old
And we wore smiles that we earned upon our face
And we left when the sunset made us too cold

Oh no, did I say too much?
I don't wanna seem like I was in a rush
Some day soon, the sun will shine
But until then, I'll take my place in line

Got a ticket back to Nashville on a plane
But I think that I would probably rather drive
Fill the car with smoke and coffee cups
Oh, as much as it might take to stay alive
Tore a page off of the legal pad
I found lions still and dead upon the floor
And I wrote it so it wouldn't be so sad
I hope some day that it means so much more

And oh no, did I say too much?
And I don't wanna seem like I was in a rush
And some day soon, the sun will shine
But until then, I'll take my place in line
I'll take my place in line
But until then, I'll take my place in line
