Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
She holds tight to me and the bible
On the backseat of my motorcycle
Left her daddy standin' there, preachin' to the choir
You see, God love her
Oh, me and God love her
[Verse 3]
She kissed her mama goodbye
Said, "I'll be sure and phone ya"
She called her from a truck stop in Tucson, Arizona
With amazing grace, we made California line
[Verse 4]
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
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
She holds tight to me and the bible
On the backseat of my motorcycle
Left her daddy standin' there, preachin' to the choir
You see, God love her
Oh, me and God love her
[Chorus]
Now she holds tight to me and the bible
On the backseat 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
[Outro]
Me and God love her
