Based on a true story.

lyrics

Valentine’s Day, Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day, wasn’t so great
On Valentine’s Day, when I got out of jail
My baby said don’t come home

There’s more to the story than that
Things were bad for a good long while
I couldn’t give what she needed to feel loved
We could have been great together
If it hadn’t all gone so bad

Now I’m down in Mexico
I’ve got nowhere left to go
On Valentine’s Day, when I got out of jail
My whole world fell apart

Well I’ve got my fears and I’ve got my troubles
They conspired to rob me of something great
It’s taken me years to bust through them bubbles
Seems to me, it’s all too late

Valentine’s Day, Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day wasn’t so great
We could have been great together
If it hadn’t all gone so bad
Could have been the best thing I ever had
