Dolly Parton - Backwoods Barbie

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 fredricks 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 barbies 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
