St. Cecilia, she been good to me
she always help me find the melody
and old St. Francis, man he's the best
helped me get some things off my chest

(Chorus 1)
But I never liked St. Valentine
I never liked St. Valentine
never liked St. Valentine
(NC)
he’s breakin hearts all over town

St. Patrick, he has his own day to
’cept on his day you can go get drunk and nobody will get mad at you
you dont have to be Irish
you dont even have to know what it’s all about
you can spend the night alone and you won’t feel left out

(Chorus 1)

If you perform two perfect miracles, you’r still just a regular guy
Perform one more, and you’re a saint

St.Christopher, i don’t even think hes a saint anymore
Jolly old St. Nick, look it up, he used to run around with wes
some saints aint that saintly, and thats fine
atleast they don’t come around one time a year to remind me I don’t have a

valentine

(Chorus 2)

I don’t have a valentine
I don’t have a valentine
and I never liked st. valentine

Verse:

You got me on the line, there’s nothing I can do
You’re baitin’ up the switch and I’m falling for that too
You got me playing your game, I’m breaking my own rules
You got me on the line, there’s nothing I can do

Chorus:

So you can break my heart like I know you’re gonna
You can tear me up like I know you can
You can eat me alive like I know you wanna
But it’s better than never even having a chance
I can tell by the look in your eyes
That you’ve already planned your goodbye
It doesn’t make much sense and I know it won’t fly
But we might as well give it try

Verse:

I should get out while I can but that’s never been my style
I’m just a runner up when we could be running wild
I could walk away now, seek the remedy in miles
I should get out while I can but that’s never been my style

Chorus:

So you can break my heart like I know you’re gonna
You can tear me up like I know you can
You can eat me alive like I know you wanna
But it’s better than never even having a chance
I can tell by the look in your eyes
That you’ve already planned your goodbye
It doesn’t make much sense and I know it won’t fly
But we might as well give it try

The main progression is G Em D G but it starts at the ends of phrases and wraps back to
to the next line. Best thing to do is play it in time and let the lyrics fall where
they will.

Verse:

She was striking like a Viking in the night
Held herself together in the heat of the fight
Took me prisoner, captive till the morning light
When I woke she was nowhere in sight

Chorus:

But it’s not good luck
I don’t believe in good luck
And it ain’t no miracle
And it’s not true love
I don’t believe in true love
Maybe it was just my time
Maybe she was sent from up above
Maybe it was just one night
Of good luck and true love
Good luck and true love

Verse:

She was smoking like the barrel of a well-known gun
Any he hope that she could hit him dead, red on the run
Had ‘em on the edge of their seats every night
Now I’m the only cowboy locked in her sights

Chorus:

But it’s not good luck
I don’t believe in good luck
And it ain’t no miracle
And it’s not true love
I don’t believe in true love
Maybe it was just my time
Maybe she was sent from up above
Maybe it was just one night
Of good luck and true love
Good luck and true love

Lead

Em G C G x3 then C D x3

Verse:

She was helpless like a fairytale tied to the tracks
Train a coming, there was no time to react
Broke her flyin’, I was quick and skilled with the blade
Train whistle blowin’ as I pulled her away

Chorus:

But it’s not good luck
I don’t believe in good luck
And it ain’t no miracle
And it’s not true love
I don’t believe in true love
Maybe it was just my time
Maybe she was sent from up above
Maybe it was just one night
Of good luck and true love
Good luck and true love
Good luck and true love
Good luck and true love

Can also Capo 2 and play G Em7 D C for the chorus and Em7 G C D in the verses

Chorus:
She likes money, he’s got money
He likes love, she got more than enough
And they’ll stay together till they find something better
She likes money, he likes love

And he says, everybody’s gonna think we’re crazy
Because you’re so much younger than me, baby
But it’s alright, it’s alright with me
And everybody gonna point their fingers
They’re gonna take up all about the dangers of messing
With a guy like me, yeah

Chorus

She says, to me age is nothing but a number
Cut n’ dry like it over and under
It’s alright, it’s alright with me
But sometimes you gotta take some chances
Wicked dealing with modern romances
‘Cause sometimes we just gotta believe, yeah, I believe
Chorus

Solo

Chorus

And everybody says did you hear about the car that he bought her
Don’t you know that that’s somebody’s daughter
It ain’t cool, it ain’t cool with me
And pretty soon she’s gonna leave him
Up to him it’s her job to please him
It’s his job to give her what she needs

Chorus
Yeah, she likes money, he likes love
Yeah, she likes money

Verse:

Well I woke up this morning
to a busted up room
Some half empty bottles
and a half written tune
I stacked up the papers
and I cleaned up the mess
I don’t know what happened
but I got a good guess

Chorus:

I must have stayed up all night again drinking
Heart broke and singing the blues
But don’t be surprised you know it ain’t the first time
I stayed up all night again writing a song about you

Verse:

I called up your number
and I just let it ring
Nobody answered, so I called it again
And then I pulled out that bottle,
filled up a glass
rescued a wrinkled up page from the trash

Chorus:

Then I stayed up all night again drinking
Heart broke and singing the blues
But don’t be surprised you know it ain’t the first time
I stayed up all night again writing a song about you

Solo:

Bridge:

But don’t worry about me
Cause I’ll be alright
Maybe I’ll write a number one,
one of these nights
And you can tell all your friends
that it’s all about you
But until then I know just what to do

Chorus:

I’ll stay up all night again drinking
Heart broke and singing the blues
But don’t be surprised you know it ain’t the first time
I stayed up all night again writing a song about you

I stayed up all night again writing a song about you

Pre Verse

My thoughts are out the door, my words about to pour
The boots are on the boards, I’m gonna hit the ground runnin'
My eyes are up ahead, I’m lonely in this bed
My home is in my head, I’m gonna hit the ground runnin'
My choices have been made, my dues have all been paid
I gotta burn before I fade. I’m gonna hit the ground runnin'
I be runnin’ when I hit ground
Verse
I don’t turn my porch light on when I leave home
Cause I’m gone a lot and I ain’t got nothing to steal
I don’t kiss my baby goodbye
See, I got no baby ‘cause I’m gone a lot
And I don’t know how to deal
And I keep looking for something that’s real

Choeus
Goin’ out on the road
Gonna ramble all over America
I was born on the run
And I’m never gonna settle down
Baby, I’m on a roll
Rollin’ all over America
And when the sun comes up, honey
I’ll be running when I hit the ground

Verse
I don’t set my suitcase down when I get to town
Cause I’m gone a lot and I know I’ll be leaving real soon
And I don’t know just where I’m bound
But someday I’ll come back around
And you know I’ll be looking for you
Yeah, I’m sure to be looking for you

Chorus
Goin’ out on the road
Gonna ramble all over America

All I need’s this old guitar
She seen a lot of miles
And she makes me a living
But she ain’t made me a star
So I gotta keep my meal ticket dry
She’s a six string box, ain’t worth a lot of money
But she keeps this boy alive
Yeah, she keeps this boy alive

Chorus
I’m goin’ out on the road
Gonna ramble all over America
I was born on the run
And I’m never gonna settle down
Baby, I’m on a roll
