Caught In The Briars
Back alleys full of rainAnd everything shiningAs holy as she can beThe trick’s in the timing
Free as a morning bird,Fragile as china,She’s stuck in the weakest heartOf South Carolina
Where all of the naked boysLay down beside her,Sing her the saddest songAll caught in the briars
I never meant to fallSo hard in the doorwayAnd all the sinners hereHave crosses for Sunday
Kissed at the county fair,Frisked in the city,Which proves as an answered prayerBut ain’t it a pity
That all of the naked boysThat laid down beside herSing her the saddest songAll caught in the briars
