I went out on the highway
Em B7
Where the lost and lonely go
Em D C B7 Am
A woman cried and I almost died
B7 Em
When I found her on old Briar Road

V2 (band)
Em B7
She fell into my window
Em B7
As I was cruising down the road
Em D C B7 Am
My heart jumped for her beauty
B7 Em
When I found her on old Briar Road

V3
Em B7
My heart jumped for her crazy
Em B7
Her wild bright shining smile
Em D C B7 Am
My world fell down and she held the crown
B7 Em
When I found her on ol' Briar Road

V4
Em B7
But no man can own a woman like this
Em B7
No man can own that kiss
Em D C B7 Am
And no man I know could ever let her go
B7 Em
I found her on Old Briar road

V5
Em B7
Baby, baby, baby
Em B7
Where you spend last night-tell me please

Em D C B7 Am
You didn’t come home until the morning light
B7 Em
Was creeping on through those trees


V6
Em B7
I took her to the river out west
Em B7
Where the cold wild water flows
Em D C B7 Am
I held a knife against her breast
B7 Em
Now she’s going where the river goes

V7
Em B7
But still I hear her laughter
Em B7
And see her wild bright smile
Em D C B7 Am
A jailbird's time will soon be mine
B7 Em
For the girl from old Briar Road

V8
Em B7
If every angel has a shadow
Em B7
And every rose a thorn
Em D C B7 Am
If you find sunshine you will find the storm
B7 Em
I found her on Ol' Briar Road
