***Capo 2*** 
 
              D5             A5          G5 
Well, it's a long way from Star, Mississippi 
        D5             A5             G5 
To the big stage I'm singing on tonight 
         D5         A5                 G5 
And sometimes the butterflies still get me 
         C5           A5 
When I'm in the spotlight 
 

          D5              A5          G5 
And some people seem to think that I've changed 
          D5         A5                G5 
That I'm different than I was back then 
           D5       A5                 G5 
But in my soul, I know that I'm the same way 
           C5              A5 
That I've really always been 
          D5                      A5          D5 
'Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways 
G5                      A5 
Just 'cause everybody knows her name 
D5                        A5             D5   G5 
Ain't big headed from a little bit of fa---me 
D5                        A5        D5 
I still like wearing my old ball cap 
G5                 A5 
Ridin' my kids around piggy back 
C5                                 G5 
They may know me all around the world 
     C5                   A5           D5 
But, y'all, I'm still a Mississippi girl  
D5  C5  G5 (x2) 
 
          D5          A5            G5 
Well, I spent a few weeks in California 
              D5  A5                G5 
They put my face on the big movie screen 
                D5            A5              G5 
But that don't mean I've forgotten where I came from 
            C5            A5 
That's just me chasing dreams
