Dolly Parton - False Eyelashes Lyrics
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 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
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

Back when Dolly was still doing real country. love it. Sara Borges does a great cover of this as well
Love her singing
I have some fond memories of hearing this song. It's pretty tough to find these days b/c it's so old. I remember watching her on The Grand Ole' Opry singing this song when I was a kid. My Papaw used to love her music but then again his family was from Cherokee (reservation in the mountains of NC)

A sad, but very pretty song and Dolly is great! I've always loved to hear her sing!
Hope this nice person will feel it somehow :))
But thanks for posting this version, too! warm greetings ..
Well I don't have a copy of the live version unfortunately. Let's hope some nice person will put it back up soon. :)
there used to be a live version on youtube where she sings it on a TV show and the sound is a little different from this version.. Both versions are great but I loved that one a bit more.. Can it be somehow returned?
