American Pageant - US Air Force Band of Flight

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 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 9.5 Or a 4.0 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, 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 (Ooh, ooh) (Ooh, ooh) (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

How can I convince you it's me I don't like? Not be so indifferent to the look in your eyes When I've always been distant and I've always told lies for love I know this isn't what you were wanting me to say How can I be closer and get further away From the truth that proves it's beautiful to lie? Oh, I've got reservations About so many things But not about you I'm bound by the choices so hard to make Bound by the feeling so easy to fake None of this is real enough to take me from you Oh, I've got reservations About so many things But not about you Oh, I've reservations About so many things But not about you It's not about you It's not about you It's not about you It's not about you
