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





Yea, 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 motercycle

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





Yea 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 motercycle
Left her daddy standin' there

preachin' to the choir
You see....God love her
oh me and God love her





Now she holds tight to me and the Bible
on the back seat of my motercycle
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
