FALSE EYELASHES

Folks back home think I m a star now when they hear my records play
They say their hometown girl made good and should go long long way
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
A pair of false eyelashes and a tube of cheap lipstick
A pair of worn-out high heel shoes and a dress doesn t fit
These are all of my possessions all I have to my name
And the record played in my hometown is my only claim to fame
I m so glad that dad can t see me now his favorite little girl
Singin in this dingy place on the wrong side of the world
Now 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
A pair of false eyelashes...
Yes the record played in my hometown is my only claim to fame
