Well it's a long way from Star, Mississippi
To the big stage i'm singing on tonight
And sometimes the butterflies still get me

When I'm in the spotlight

And some people seem to think that I've changed

That I'm different than I was back then
But in my soul I know that I'm the same way
That I really always been


[Chorus:]
Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways

Just cause everybody knows her name
Ain't big-headed from a little bit of fame
I still like wearing my old ball cap

Ride my kids around piggy back
They might know me all around the world
But y'all I'm still a Mississippi girl


Well I spent a few weeks in California
They put my face on the big movie screen

But that don't mean I've forgotten where I came from
That's just me chasing dreams, yeah


[Chorus:]
Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways
Just cause everybody knows her name

Ain't big headed from a little bit of fame
I still like wearing my old ball cap
Ride my kids around piggy back

They might know me all around the world
But y'all I'm still a Mississippi girl


Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways
Just cause everybody knows her name
Ain't big headed from a little bit of fame

I still like wearing my old ball cap
Ride my kids around piggy back
They might know me all around the world

But y'all I'm still a Mississippi girl

Mississippi girl

oohh
Mississippi girl
Mississippi girl

yeah yeah
oo ohh


Mississippi girl
