Backwoods Barbie

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 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
'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 hoping for
A chance to prove my worth
And even backwoods Barbies
Get their feelings hurt

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
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
