Just a girl born in Dixie Washed in the blood And raised on the banks Of the Mississippi mud She always had a thing About fallin' in love with a bad boy Yeah, they could see it all comin' But her daddy never dreamed She'd grow up that fast You know what I mean The way a girl gets When she turns 17 Kinda crazy She's a rebel child And a preacher's daughter She was baptized in dirty water Her mama cried the first time They caught her with me They knew they couldn't stop her She holds tight to me and the Bible On the back seat of my motorcycle Left her daddy standin' there Preachin' to the choir You see, God love her Oh me and God love her She kissed her mama goodbye Said I'll be sure 'n phone ya She called from a truck stop In Tucson Arizona With amazing grace We made California line And then my gypsy life Started takin' it's toll And the fast lane got empty And out of control And just like an angel She saved my soul from the devil Yeah she's a rebel child And a preacher's daughter She was baptized in dirty water Her mama cried the first time They caught her with me They knew they couldn't stop her She holds tight to me and the Bible On the back seat of my motorcycle Left her daddy standin' there Preachin' to the choir You see, God love her Oh me and God love her She holds tight to me and the Bible On the back seat of my motorcycle Left her daddy standin' there Preachin' to the choir You see, God love her Oh me and God love her God love her Me and God love her
