Folks back home think I'm a star now when they hear my records play
                                                              D
They say their hometown girl made good and should go long long way
                                                         G6
Mom wonders why I don't drive back in that big fine car I own

Truth is I don't have a car and I'm ashamed to go back home
D                              G6
A pair of false eyelashes and a tube of cheap lipstick
  D                                                     Am6
A pair of worn-out high heel shoes and a dress doesn't fit
D                                G6
These are all of my possessions all I have to my name
                         D
And the record played in my hometown is my only claim to fame
D                                                         G6
I'm so glad that dad can't see me now his favorite little girl
                                  D
Singin' in this dingy place on the wrong side of the world
                                   G6
Now I'm glad that I can't see the boy that offered me his name
                                                               D
For I was blind and turned from him in this empty search for fame

D                              G6
A pair of false eyelashes and a tube of cheap lipstick
  D                                                     Am6
A pair of worn-out high heel shoes and a dress doesn't fit
D                                G6
These are all of my possessions all I have to my name
                         D
And the record played in my hometown is my only claim to fame
 G6                       D                                   G6
Yes the record played in my hometown is my only claim to fame
