"Backwoods Barbie" Lyrics

I grew up poor and ragged
Just a simple country girl
I wanted to be pretty
More than anything in the world
Like Barbie or the models in the Fredrick's catalogues
From rags to riches in my dreams I could have it all.

I'm just a backwoods Barbie
Too much makeup, too much hair
Don't be fooled by thinking that the goods are not all there
Don't let these false eyelashes lead you to believe
That I'm as shallow as I look
'ause I run true and deep.

I've always been misunderstood
Because of how I feel
Don't judge me by the cover
Cause I'm a real good book
So read into it what you will
But see me as I am
The way I look is just a country girl's idea of glam.

I'm just a backwoods Barbie
In a push-up bra and heels
I might look artificial
But where it counts I'm real
And I'm all dolled up
And hopin' for a chance to prove my worth
And even backwoods Barbies
Get their feelings hurt.

I'm just a backwoods Barbie
Too much makeup, tmuch hair
Don't be fooled by thinking that the goods are not all there
Yes, I can see where I could be misjudged upon first glance
But even backwoods Barbies deserve a second chance.

I'm just a backwoods Barbie
Just asking for a chance
Just a backwoods Barbie...
