False Eyelashes — текст песни (Dolly Parton)

FALSE EYELASHES

Folks back home think I`m a star now when they hear my records play
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
A pair of false eyelashes and a tube of cheap lipstick
A pair of worn-out high heel shoes and a dress doesn`t fit
These are all of my possessions all I have to my name
And the record played in my hometown is my only claim to fame
I`m so glad that dad can`t see me now his favorite little girl
Singin` in this dingy place on the wrong side of the world
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
A pair of false eyelashes...
Yes the record played in my hometown is my only claim to fame
