0:15I grew up poor and ragged, just a simple country girl
0:19I wanted to be pretty more than anything in the world
0:23Like Barbie or the models in the Fredricks' catalog
0:28From rags to wishes in my dreams I could have it all
0:36I'm just a backwoods Barbie
0:39Too much makeup, too much hair
0:44Don't be fooled by thinkin'
0:46That the goods are not all there
0:50Don't let these false eyelashes lead you to believe
0:54That I'm as shallow as I look 'cause I run true and deep
1:03I've always been misunderstood because of how I look
1:19Don't judge me by the cover 'cause I'm a real good book
1:26So read into it what you will, but see me as I am
1:31The way I look is just a country girl's idea of glam
1:39I'm just a backwoods Barbie in a push-up bra and heels
1:46I might look artificial, but where it counts I'm real
1:51And I'm all dolled up and hopin' for a chance to prove my worth
1:58And even backwoods Barbie's get their feelings hurt
2:05I'm just a backwoods Barbie, too much makeup, too much hair
2:39Don't be fooled by thinkin' that the goods are not all there
2:46Yes, I can see where I could be misjudged upon first glance
2:52But even backwoods Barbie's deserve a second chance
3:01I'm just a backwoods Barbie
3:08Just asking for a chance
3:12Just a backwoods Barbie
3:18♪
