Saint Ferdinand (feat. Jon Batiste & Natalie Hemby)

They said I wouldn't last long, but here I am
They said the spirits are strong, but I got 'em to bend
Oh, life gave me lessons that I still question, oh
They said I wouldn't last long, but here I am

Oh-oh-oh, Saint Ferdinand, my wonderland
Wild and strange, where vagabonds play
Saint Ferdinand, not what I planned
For my faith, but I'm gonna stay
These streets may not look pretty
But I see angels walkin' in the city
Saint Ferdinand, my dear friend
Times may change; you can't keep me away

Oh, no no

They say what doesn't kill you will make you strong
But I know there's a purpose in the struggle when it all goes wrong
Oh, 'cause as he smiles under streetlights instead of chaos in the night, oh-oh
They say what doesn't kill you will make you strong

Oh-oh-oh, Saint Ferdinand, my wonderland
Wild and strange, where vagabonds play
Saint Ferdinand, not what I planned
For my faith, but I'm gonna stay
These streets may not look pretty
But I see angels walkin' in the city
Saint Ferdinand, my dear friend
Times may change; you can't keep me away

Oh, no no
You can't keep me away, yeah

Baby, I (Baby, I) loved you (Loved you) more than you loved me
Maybe life (Maybe life) got away (Got away) of bringin' you to your knees

Saint Ferdinand, my wonderland
Wild and strange, where vagabonds play
Saint Ferdinand, not what I planned
For my faith, but I'm gonna stay
These streets may not look pretty
But I see angels walkin' in the city
Saint Ferdinand, my dear friend
Times may change, oh-oh

Saint Ferdinand, my dear friend
Times may change; you can't keep me away
Oh, no no
You can't keep me away, yeah
