Dolly Parton False Eyelashes Lyrics

False Eyelashes Lyrics

(Bob Tubert & Demetrius Tapp)



Folks back home think I'm a star now
when they hear my records play 

They say there home town girl made good
and she'd go a long long way 

Mom wonders why I don't drive back in that
big fine car I own 

The truth is I don't have a car and I'm ashamed to go
back home 

A pair of false eye lashes and a tube of cheap lipstick 

A pair of worn out high heel shoes and a dress doesn't fit 

These are
all my possessions all I have to my name 

And a record played in my home
town is my only claim to fame 



I'm so glad that dad can't see me
now, his favorite little girl 

Singing in this dingy place on the wrong
side of the world 

And 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 eye lashes 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 a record played in my
home town is my only claim to fame 



Yes a record played in my home
town is my only claim to fame
