Back alley's 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
Will all of the naked boys
Lay down beside her?
Sing her the saddest song
All caught in the briers
I never meant to fall
So hard in the doorway
All of the sinners here
Have crosses for Sunday
Kissed at the county fair
Frisked in the city
Where prove is an answered prayer
But ain't it a pity
Did all of the naked boys
Who lay down beside her
Sing her the saddest song
All caught in the briers?
