Well it's a long way from Star, Mississippi
To the big stage I'm singin' 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
‘Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways
Just ‘cause everybody knows her name
Ain't bigheaded from a little bit of fame
I still like wearin' 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
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 chasin' dreams, yeah
‘Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways
Just ‘cause everybody knows her name
Ain't bigheaded from a little bit of fame
I still like wearin' 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
‘Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways
Just ‘cause everybody knows her name
Ain't bigheaded from a little bit of fame
I still like wearin' my old ball cap
Ridin' my kids around piggy back
They might know me all around this world
But y'all I'm still a Mississippi girl
Mississippi girl
Mississippi girl, Mississippi girl
Mississippi girl
