Verse:
I'm tired of St. Augustine taking all my time
He's draining all my energy, my water is his wine
I'd punch the fellow who said land be manicured and green
But since I do not know that man, I'll blame St. Augustine

Verse:
Please do not confuse my sentiments with moral cause
I'm just a simple man with simple thoughts and simple laws
I don't think that it's a vice to water your land green
I just feel I'm wasting time when I'm with Augustine

Verse:
I would leave St. Augustine to mother nature's plight
If it not for the HOA's oversight
I'll let my land go back to being natural and free
I'd hock my blades and tip my hat and farewell Augustine

Verse:
I'm tired of St. Augustine taking all my time
He's draining all my energy, my water is his wine
I'd punch the fellow who said land be manicured and green
But since I do not know that man, I'll blame St. Augustine
