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 seventeen, 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, 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 her from a truck stop in Tucson Arizona With Amazing Grace, we made California line
And then my gypsy life started takin' its 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, 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!
Now 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!
