***Capo 2***
D A G
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
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
CHORUS:
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
D C G (x2)
D A G
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
CHORUS
Outro: D C G (repeat to end)
