Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's certain things you're supposed 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
[Chorus]
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 Miss 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
[Verse 2]
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 nine-point-five or a four-point-oh
If you don't even know me?
Life ain't always roses and pantyhose, and
[Chorus]
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 Miss 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
[Chorus]
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 Miss 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
