Dolly credits her longing to look as pretty as Barbie due to the fact that she was raised into a poor family. It was this idea that also influenced her write the song, “Backwoods Barbie.” I mean, just listen to the lyrics, “I wanted to be pretty more than anything in the world, like Barbie. From rags to wishes in my dreams I could have it all. I’m just a backwoods Barbie, too much makeup, too much hair. Don’t be fooled by thinkin’ that the goods are not there.”
