Folks back home think I'm a star now when they hear my records play
|
They say there home town 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
|
|
A pair of false eye lashes and a tube of cheap lipstick
|
A pair of worn out high heel shoes and a dress doesn't fit
|
These are all my possessions all I have to my name
|
And a record played in my home town is my only claim to fame
|
|
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
|
|
A pair of false eye lashes 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 a record played in my home town is my only claim to fame
|
|
Yes a record played in my home town is my only claim to fame
