Videos by American Songwriter

I’ve always been misunderstood because of how I look.
Don’t judge me by the cover ’cause I’m a real good book.
So read into it what you will, but see me as I am.
The way I look is just a country girl’s idea of glam.

I’m just a backwoods Barbie in a push-up bra and heels.
I might look artificial, but where it counts I’m real.
And I’m all dolled up and hopin’ for a chance to prove my worth,
And even backwoods Barbie’s get their feelings hurt.

–Written by Dolly Parton

  1. I am a songwriter and I have always loved Dolly’s songs–COAT OF MANY COLORS is one of the most heartwarming songs I lnow of. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU–What a song–and exactly how I feel about Dolly and her songs.
