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 Fredricks' catalog
 From rags to wishes 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 thinkin'
 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 'cause I run true and deep
 ♪
 I've always been misunderstood because of how I look
 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 Barbie's get their feelings hurt
 ♪
 I'm just a backwoods Barbie, too much makeup, too much hair
 Don't be fooled by thinkin' that the goods are not all there
 Yes, I can see where I could be misjudged upon first glance
 But even backwoods Barbie's deserve a second chance
 I'm just a backwoods Barbie
 Just asking for a chance
 Just a backwoods Barbie
