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
