lyrics

Just Like St. Augustine
(J. Carlson)

It's Christmastime in Paris and you're leaving on the train
Could have been the Queen of Persia or the Queen of Spain
Oo-ee, ooh my, just like St. Augustine

Deep among the nightclubs Winston Salem's crucified
Drop of whiskey blood rolls from his eye
Oo-ee, ooh my, just like St. Augustine

Too many crooks, too many victims, too many witnesses
Too many sat in the streets, tired and powerless
Oo-ee, ooh my, just like St. Augustine

If you try to lose me then I'm already lost
Everything I've worked for, everything is lost
Oo-ee, ooh my, just like St. Augustine
