"Dime Store Cowgirl" is a song recorded by American country music artist Kacey Musgraves that serves as the second single from her second major label studio album, Pageant Material.

The title of the song originates from when Kacey and her sister, Kelly Musgraves, were a part of the kids band, the Buckaroos.

The band had a dress code requiring all the members to wear a cowboy hat; Kacey wore hers cocked back, what she called "pin-up cowgirl-style."

In an interview with FADER,[1] Kacey recalled how a mother of another girl she would sing with in the group came up to her and said, 'Don't you wear your hat like that, you're just gonna look like some dimestore cowgirl!'

Musgraves has elaborated on the meaning of this lyric, saying that she has stayed at "the infamous Joshua Tree Inn" Motel, in California" several times, including filming the video for Follow Your Arrow there.
