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
