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've 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 Ridin' my kids around piggy back They might know me all around the world But, y'all, I'm still a Mississippi girl
Whoo!
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
'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 Ridin' my kids around piggy back They might know me all around the world But, y'all, I'm still a Mississippi girl
Whoo!
'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 Still like wearing my old ball cap Ridin' my kids around piggy back They may know me all around this world, that's all right But, y'all, I'm still a Mississippi ---- girl
