Back alleys full of rain
And everything shining

As holy as she can be
The trick’s in the timing
Free as a morning bird
Fragile as china

She’s stuck in the weakest heart
Of South Carolina

Where all of the naked boys

Lay down beside her

Sing her the saddest song

All caught in the briars

I never meant to fall
So hard in the doorway

And all the sinners here
Have crosses for Sunday

Kissed at the county fair
Frisked in the city

Which proves as an answered prayer
But ain’t it a pity

That all of the naked boys

That laid down beside her

Sing her the saddest song

All caught in the briars
