Intro.:  |(C) |(G) |(D) |(G) |(G)

I (G)grew up poor and ragged, just a (C)simple country girl
I (G)wanted to be pretty more than anything in the (D)world
Like (C)Barbie or the models in the (G)Fredricks' cata-(C)log
From rags to wishes (G)in my dreams (D) I could have (G) it all

(Chorus)
I'm (C)just a backwoods Barbie, too much (G)makeup, too much hair
(C)Don't be fooled by thinkin' that the (G)goods are not all (D)there
Don't (C)let these false eyelashes (G)lead you to be-(C)lieve that
I'm as shallow (G)as I look 'cause (D)I run true (G) and deep

Solo:  |(C) |(G) |(D) |(G) |(G)

I've (G)always been misunderstood be-(C)cause of how I look
Don't (G)judge me by the cover 'cause I'm a real (D)good book
So (C)read into it what you will, but (G)see me as I (C)am
The way I look is (G)just a country (D)girl's idea (G) of glam

(Chorus)
I'm (C)just a backwoods Barbie in a (G)push-up bra and heels
I (C)might look artificial, but (G)where it counts I'm (D)real
And I'm (C)all dolled up and hopin' for a (G)chance to prove my (C)worth
And even backwoods (G)Barbie's (D)get their feelings (G) hurt

Solo:  |(C) |(C) |(G) |(G) |(C) |(C) |(G) |(D) |

(Chorus)
I'm (C)just a backwoods Barbie, too much (G)makeup, too much hair
(C)Don't be fooled by thinkin' that the (G)goods are not all (D)there
Yes, (C)I can see where I could be mis-(G)judged upon first (C) glance
But even backwoods (G)Barbie's de-(D)serve a second (G)chance

(Tag)
I'm (C)just a backwoods (G)Barbie just (D) asking for (C)a chance
Just a backwoods (G) Barbie -----
