St. 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
St. Valentine wore shades and a cowboy hat
He looked straight out of Lonesome Dove
You never saw his eyes, but you knew down deep inside
He was longing for a long lost love
The original lover had a broken heart
To the ground his blood did flow
For every drop that touched the earth
A red, red rose did grow
ย
St. 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
St. 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 living so far apart
The original lover had a broken heart
To the ground his blood did flow
For every drop that touched the earth
A red, red rose did grow
ย
St. Valentine would circle the shopping center mall
With his radio wailing the blues
He'd park outside the door of the video store
Like he was one of the chosen few
St. 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
For every drop that touched the earth
A red, red rose did grow
