Pageant Material

There's certain things you're s'posed to know

When you're a girl who grows up in the south

I try to use my common sense

But my foot always ends up in my mouth

And if I had to walk a runway in high heels

In front of the whole town

I'd fall down

And my mama cried

When she realized

I ain't pageant material

I'm always higher than my hair

And it ain't that I don't care about world peace

But I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stage

I ain't exactly ms congenial

Sometimes I talk before I think I try to fake it but I can't

I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't

God bless the girls who smile and hug

When they're called out as a runner up on tv

I wish I could but I just can't

Wear a smile when a smile ain't what I'm feelin'

And who's to say I'm a 95

Or a 40 if you don't even know me

Life ain't always roses and pantyhose

And

I ain't pageant material

I'm always higher than my hair

And it ain't that I don't care about world peace

But I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stage

I ain't exactly ms congenial

Sometimes I talk before I think I try to fake it but I can't

I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't

I ain't pageant material

The only crown is in my glass

They won't be handin' me a sash

And that's okay cause there's no way

You'll ever see me in a swimsuit on a stage

I ain't exactly ms congenial

Sometimes I talk before I think I try to fake it but I can't

I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't

Yeah I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
