Joe Ely - Saint Valentine lyrics

Saint Valentine drove a red Continental With a headlight out and a dent in the side He said it wasn't his; it was only a rental But he drove it every single night Saint Valentine wore shades and a Cowboy Hat He looked straight outa Lonesome Dove You never saw his eyes but you knew down deep inside He was longin for a long lost love The Original Lover had a broken heart To the ground his blood did flow And for every drop that fell to the earth A red, red rose did grow Saint Valentine ate pizza every Monday night And chased it with Johnny Walker Black The waitresses would stare but he just didn't care He just wanted his lover back Saint Valentine wore a t-shirt of the Virgin Madonna With the sleeves cut out and a tear through the heart He wore it like a shield to protect his pride and honor He was tired of livin' so far apart The Origional Lover had a broken heart To the ground his blood did flow And for every drop that fell to the earth A red, red rose did grow Saint Valentine would Circle the Shoppin' Center Mall With his radio wailin' the Blues He'd park outside the door of the Video Store Like he was one of the chosen few Saint Valentine drove a red Continental With a headlight out and a dent in the side He swore it wasn't real; it was only mental But he drove it every single night
