G                                C
I grew up poor and ragged just a simple country girl
G                                               D7
I wanted to be pretty more than anything in the world
     C                           G              C
Like Barbie or the models in the Fredrick?s catalog
                    G            D7              G
From rags to wishes in my dreams I could have it all

    C                                G
I'm just a backwoods Barbie too much makeup too much hair
C                                    G                 D7
Don't be fooled by thinking that the goods are not all there
C                               G             C
Don't let these false eyelashes lead you to believe 
                    G               D7             G
That I'm as shallow as I look cause I run true and deep

                               C
I've always been misunderstood because of how I look
G                                                 D7
Don't judge me by the cover cause I'm a real good book
   C                          G               C
So read into it what you will but see me as I am
                  G              D7             G
The way I look is just a country girl's idea of glam

    C                            G
I'm just a backwoods Barbie in a push-up bra and heels
C                           G                   D7
I might look artificial but where it counts I'm real
C                                      G                  C
And I'm all dolled up and hoping for a chance to prove my worth
                   G        D7                 G
And even backwoods Barbie?s get their feelings hurt

    C                                G
I'm just a backwoods Barbie too much makeup too much hair
C                                    G                 D7
Don't be fooled by thinking that the goods are not all there
C                              G                    C
Yes I can see where I could be misjudged upon first glance
                   G        D7               G
But even backwoods Barbie's deserve a second chance

    C                G           D7           C
I'm just a backwoods Barbie just asking for a chance
                 G
Just a backwoods Barbie
