Karaoké Pageant Material Kacey Musgraves

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

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

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 O 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 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

I ain't pageant material

The only crown is in my glass

They won't be handin' me a sash

And that's okay 'cos 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
