She was born with her fists
All pushed up for fightin'
She looked out the window
And she laughed at the lightnin'
Just the kinda citizen this town needs
Welcome to Difficult, Tennessee
Yeah, yeah

She was a thorn in the side
Of her sister and her brother
She tended to bite
When they tried to hug her
She ran with the dog
She'd be gone for hours
She climbed on the trees
And she dug up the flowers
Oh, oh

Raised on the banks of Defeated Creek
Every boy around was in love
With the black-eyed critter
With the little bare feet
That they called Miss Difficult

She was skippin' outta school
When she was only seven
She hot-wired a truck
At the age of eleven
Beautiful child
Blessed by nature
Breakin' hearts left and right
When she was a teenager
Oh, oh, oh yeah yeah

There's never been a beauty pageant in this town
But everybody knows well enough
There ain't nobody gonna take that crown
Away from Miss Difficult

Any guy would be wise
To watch his manners
She comes down hard
Like a ball-peen hammer
Tell her what she wants to hear
Don't you bust her bubble
And watch how you say it
Or there's gonna be trouble

Here she comes
Miss Difficult
Oh yeah, Miss Difficult
Oh yeah, Miss Difficult
Oh, oh, oh yeah yeah ya yeah
