1. Just a girl born in Dixie, washed in the blood
Em D
and raised on the banks of the
Mississippi mud,
C G D
she always had a thing about
fallin' in love with a bad boy.
G D
Yeah, they could see it all
comin', but her daddy never dreamed,
Em D
she'd grow up that fast, you
know what I mean,
C G
- D
the way a girl gets when she
turns 17, kinda crazy.
- G - D
She's a rebel child and a preacher's daughter,
- Em - C
she was baptized in dirty water.
G D Em
Her mama cried the first time
they caught her with me,
C D
they knew they couldn't stop her.

She holds tight to me and the
Bible,
- Em

on the back seat of my motorcycle.

Left her daddy standin' there,
D Em

2. She kissed her mama goodbye, said, I'll be sure 'n phone ya,
Em D
she called from a truck stop in Tucson Arizona,
C G D
with amazing grace we made
California line.
G D
And then my gypsy life started
takin' it's toll,
Em D
and the fast lane got empty
and out of control.
C G D
and just like an angel she
saved my soul from the devil.

on the back seat of my motorcycle.
