False Eyelashes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Folks back home think I'm a star now when they hear my records play They say their hometown girl made good and she'd go a long long way Mom wonders why I don't drive back in that big fine car I own The truth is I don't have a car and I'm ashamed to go back home [Chorus] A pair of false eyelashes and a tube of cheap lipstick A pair of worn out high heel shoes and a dress that doesn't fit These are all of my possessions, all I have to my name And a record played in my hometown is my only claim to fame [Verse 2] I'm so glad that dad can't see me now, his favorite little girl Singing in this dingy place on the wrong side of the world And I'm glad that I can't see the boy that offered me his name For I was blind and turned from him in this empty search for fame [Chorus] A pair of false eyelashes and a tube of cheap lipstick A pair of worn out high heel shoes and a dress that doesn't fit These are all of my possessions, all I have to my name And a record played in my hometown is my only claim to fame [Outro] Yes, a record played in my hometown is my only claim to fame
