False Eyelashes
Recorded by Dolly Parton
Written by Bob Tubert and Demetriss Tapp
[Verse 1]
C
Folks back home think I'm a star now
F
When they hear my records play
C
They say their hometown girl made good
G7
And should go long long way
C
Mom wonders why I don't drive back
F
In that big fine car I own
C
The truth is I don't have a car
G7 C
And I'm ashamed to go back home
[Chorus]
C7
A pair of false eyelashes
F
And a tube of cheap lipstick
C
A pair of worn-out high heel shoes
G7
And a dress that doesn't fit
C
These are all of my possessions
F
All I have to my name
C
And the record played in my hometown
G7 C
Is my only claim to fame
[Verse 2]
C
I'm so glad that dad can't see me now
F
His favorite little girl
C
Singin' in this dingy place
G7
On the wrong side of the world
C
Now I'm glad that I can't see the boy
F
That offered me his name
C
For I was blind and turned from him
G7 C
In this empty search for fame
[Chorus]
C7
A pair of false eyelashes
F
And a tube of cheap lipstick
C
A pair of worn-out high heel shoes
G7
And a dress that doesn't fit
C
These are all of my possessions
F
All I have to my name
C
And the record played in my hometown
G7 C
Is my only claim to fame
[Outro]
F C
And the record played in my hometown
G7 C
Is my only claim to fame
