False Eyelashes

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

Truth is I don't have a car and I'm 
ashamed to go back home

A pair of false eyelashes and a tube
 of cheap lipstick
  D                                
A pair of worn-out high heel shoes 
                     Am6
and a dress doesn't fit

These are all of my possessions all 
G6
I have to my name
                         D
And the record played in my hometown
 is my only claim to fame
D                                 
I'm so glad that dad can't see me 
                        G6
now his favorite little girl
                                  D
Singin' in this dingy place on the 
wrong side of the world
Now I'm glad that I can't see the 
 G6
boy that offered me his name
For I was blind and turned from him 
                           D
in this empty search for fame

Yes the record played in my

hometown is my only claim to fame
