DOLLY PARTON - Backwoods Barbie lyrics

rate me

I grew up poor and ragged

Just a simple country girl

I wanted to be pretty

More than anything in the world

Like Barbie or the models in the Fredrick's catalogues

From rags to riches in my dreams I could have it all.

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

'ause I run true and deep.

I’ve always been misunderstood

Because of how I feel

Don’t judge me by the 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.

I'm just a backwoods Barbie

In a push-up bra and heels

I might look artificial

But where it counts I’m real

And I’m all dolled up

And hopin' for a chance to prove my worth

And even backwoods Barbies

Get their feelings hurt.

I’m just a backwoods Barbie

Too much makeup, tmuch hair

Don’t be fooled by thinking that the goods are not all there

Yes, I can see where I could be misjudged upon first glance

But even backwoods Barbies deserve a second chance.

I’m just a backwoods Barbie

Just asking for a chance

Just a backwoods Barbie...
