"I was drivin’ home, early Sunday mornin’, through Bakersfield
listenin’ to gospel music on a colored radio station
and the preacher said,
you know, you’ll ALWAYS have the LORD by your side,
I was so pleased to be informed of this,
that I ran twenty red-lights in his honor,
(Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord)
I had arrangements to meet a girl, and I was kind of late...
I thought by the time I got there, she’d be off...
she’d be off with the Nearest truck driver she could find
much to my surprise, there she was, sittin’ in the corner,
little bleary, worse for wear and tear
was the girl... FAR away eyes
chorus
so if you’re dowwwn on your luck
and you can’t quite harmonize
find a girl, with faaar away eyes
and if you’re down right disgusted
and life ain’t worth a dang
get a girl, with faaar away eyes"
Well the preacher kept right on sayin’
that all I had to do
was send ten dollars to the Church of the Sacred Bleeding Heart of Jesus located somewhere in Los Angelis California
and next week they’d say my payer on the RAdio
and all my dreams would COME true
know next week
I got a praaayer
I got a Girrl…
You know what kind of eyes she got?
A Girrl, with far away eyes.
chorus
"Far Away Eyes" Rolling Stones
Enjoy!
