Now, I grew up poor and ragged, just a simple country girl And 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
And 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
And I've always been misunderstood because of how I look Don't judge me by my 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
And I'm just a backwoods Barbie in a push-up bra and heels And 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
And 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 could see where I could be misjudged upon first glance But even backwoods Barbies deserve a second chance And I'm just a backwoods Barbie asking for a second chance Backwoods Barbie
