About The Song
You cannot judge a person by the way they look or what they have because most of the time, the person whom we thought to be bad will actually save another person’s life. It’s easy to see the bad or worse in people but it takes an effort to appreciate and see the goodness in a person.
Toby Keith collaborated with Vicky McGhee in 2008 to write a song entitled “God Love Her.” The song is one of Toby Keith’s track on his album That Don’t Make Me a Bad Guy.

The narrator of the song tells the story of his woman. The woman he loves is a daughter of a preacher, who would normally grow up to be a good person. However, she became a rebellious child. Despite all the unpleasant things she has done, she still believes in God. That is why the narrator has mentioned that his girl clings to the Bible. She may be considered to be a living a rebellious life, but because of her, the narrator’s soul was saved. He became a person who believed in God.

Lyrics
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
