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
G6
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
A pair of worn-out high heel shoes and a dress doesn't fit
D G6
These are all of my possessions all I have to my name
D
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
D
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
D Am6
A pair of worn-out high heel shoes and a dress doesn't fit
D G6
These are all of my possessions all I have to my name
D
And the record played in my hometown is my only claim to fame
G6 D G6
Yes the record played in my hometown is my only claim to fame
