Mississippi Girl (Live NBC 2005)

Mississippi Girl

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

Mississippi girl

Mississippi girl

yeah yeah

oo ohh
