    D ~

 

                      D                       A          G

1. Well, it's a long way from Star, Mississippi

                D                  A                  G

    to the big stage I'm singing on tonight.

                    D               A                    G

    And sometimes the butterflies still get me,

                   C              A

    when I'm in the spotlight.

 

                        D                      A            G

2. And some people seem to think that I've changed,

                  D             A                       G

    that I'm different than I was back then.

                      D          A                       G

    But in my soul, I know that I'm the same way,

                    C                   A

    that I've really always been.

 

                 D                                A               D

'Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways,

 G                                   A

just 'cause everybody knows her name,

  D                                  A               D - G

ain't big headed from a little bit of fa......me.

    D                             A          D

I still like wearing my old ball cap,

 G                     A

ridin' my kids around piggy back,

   C                                                  G

they may know me all around the world,

         C                     A               D

but, y'all, I'm still a Mississippi girl.

3. Well, I spent a few weeks in California,

                         D     A                             G

    they put my face on the big movie screen.

                              D                 A                    G

    But that don't mean I've forgotten where I came from,

                      C                   A

    that's just me chasing dreams.
