[D]Folks back home think I'm a star now when they hear my records p[G6]lay
They say their hometown girl made good and should go long long[D] way
Mom wonders why I don't drive back in that big fine car I[G6] own
Truth is I don't have a car and I'm ashamed to go back home
[D]A pair of false eyelashes and a[G6] tube of cheap lipstick
A [D]pair of worn-out high heel shoes and a dress doesn't f[Am6]it
[D]These are all of my possessions a[G6]ll I have to my name
And the record played in [D]my hometown is my only claim to fame
[D]I'm so glad that dad can't see me now his favorite little [G6]girl
Singin' in this dingy place on the[D] wrong side of the world
Now I'm glad that I can't see the b[G6]oy that offered me his name
For I was blind and turned from him in this empty search for fa[D]me
[D]A pair of false eyelashes and a[G6] tube of cheap lipstick
A [D]pair of worn-out high heel shoes and a dress doesn't f[Am6]it
[D]These are all of my possessions a[G6]ll I have to my name
And the record played in [D]my hometown is my only claim to fame
Y[G6]es the record played in m[D]y hometown is my only claim to fame[G6]
