Folks back home think I'm a star now when they hear my records play 
                                                              D 
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 
D                              G6 
A pair of false eyelashes and a tube of cheap lipstick 
  D                                                     Am6

And the record played in my hometown is my only claim to fame 
D                                                         G6 
I'm so glad that dad can't see me now his favorite little girl 
                                  D 
Singin' in this dingy place on the wrong side of the world 
                                   G6 
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 

D                              G6 
A pair of false eyelashes and a tube of cheap lipstick

And the record played in my hometown is my only claim to fame 
 G6                       D                                   G6
