Saint Valentine Lyrics - Ely Joe

Saint Valentine drove a red Continental 

With a headlight out and a dent in the side 

He swore 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 outta 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 touch 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 original lover had a broken heart 

To the ground his blood did flow 

And for every drop that touch 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 

The original lover had a broken heart 

To the ground his blood did flow 

And for every drop that touch the earth 

A red, red rose did grow
