        E              B         A
to the big stage i'm singin on tonight
       E             B               A
and sometimes the butterflies still get me
         B         F#
when i'm in the spotlight


chorus:
            E                    B
Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways
 A                     B     
just cause everybody knows her name
 E                        B            A 
ain't big headed from a little bit of fame
    E                   B
i still like wearin my old ball cap
 A             B
ride my kids around piggy back
 A
they might know me all around the world
      A                            E
but ya'll i'm still a Mississippi girl



        E            B         A
well i spent a few weeks in California
             E           B          A 
they put my face on the big movie screen
                E            B              A
