***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 

[Refrão]
          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
