“I'm Not A Saint” by Billy Raffoul – A Song Feature

      Billy Raffoul has a voice that prevents his music from being background sound – it demands attention. The music is Power Blues. Not yet a  quarter-century old, he is already becoming a force.

     Raffoul released a six-song EP titeled “1975.” Our favorite song from the EP is “I’m Not A Saint,” which was co-written with Julia Michaels. He explained:

“We were talking about things we do or that we shouldn’t do, like swear too much, smoke too much, lie too much, and it just flowed from there.”  

     When not on tour, Raffoul splits time between Nashville and Los Angeles.

Lyrics of “I'm Not A Saint” by Billy Raffoul

But I've had one too many cigarettes

burning up my lungs

Had the taste of one too many lips

hanging of my tongue

Hoe, hoe

Hoe, hohm

Sunday morning getting high

drinking here alone

Thinking up a brand new alibi

for not coming home

Hoe, hoem

An hoe, hohm

And I'm sorry I say “Fuck” so much

I'm not a saint, but I could be if I tried

Lord knows I've got habits to break

I'm really good at being good at goodbyes

I'm gonna give you fair warning that I

I'm not a saint, but I could be if I tried

Lord knows I don't learn from mistakes

And I'm not here unless I'm here by your side

I'm not a saint, but I could be if I

Sober up and settle down

Give a little talk

'Bout how I can't keep from runnin' 'round

Say it's such a fault

Hoe, hoe

Hoe, hohm

And I'm sorry I lie so much

I'm not a saint, but I could be if I tried

Lord knows I've got habits to break

I'm really good at being good at goodbyes

I'm gonna give you fair warning that I

I'm not a saint, but I could be if I tried

Lord knows I don't learn from mistakes

And I'm not here unless I'm here by your side

I'm not a saint, but I could be if I tried

Oh woe, oh woe, oh

Oh woe, oh woe, oh

Oh woe, oh woe, oh

I'm gonna give you fair warning that I

Will be the reason for the tears in your eyes

I'm not a saint, but I could be if I tried

Lord knows I've got habits to break

I'm really good at being good at goodbyes

I'm gonna give you fair warning that I

I'm not a saint, but I could be if I tried

Lord knows I don't learn from mistakes

And I'm not here unless I'm here by your side

I'm gonna give you fair warning that I

Oh woe, oh woe, oh

Oh woe, oh woe, oh

Oh woe, oh woe, oh

I'm not a saint, but I could be if I tried
