Dolly Parton
Backwoods Barbie
[DORALEE]
Now I've always been misunderstood
Because of how I look
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
Now 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 Frederick's catalog
From rags to wishes, in my dreams
I could have it all
[DORALEE & WOMEN]
I'm just a backwoods Barbie
[DORALEE]
Too much makeup, too much hair
[DORALEE & WOMEN]
Don't be fooled by thinkin' that
[DORALEE]
The goods are not all there
Don't let these false eyelashes
Lead you to believe
That I'm as shallow as I look
'Cause I run true and deep
[DORALEE & WOMEN]
I'm just a backwoods Barbie
[DORALEE]
In a push-up bra and heels
[DORALEE & WOMEN]
I might look artificial
[DORALEE]
But where it counts I'm real
Yes I can see where I could be
Misjudged upon first glance
But even backwoods Barbies
Deserve a second chance
All dolled up and hopin'
For a chance to prove my worth
'Cause even backwoods Barbies
Get their feelings hurt
