Far Away Eyes lyrics

I was driving home early sunday morning through bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
And the preacher said `you know you always have the
Lord by your side`


And 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 an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late
And 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
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear
Was a girl with far away eyes


So if you`re down on your luck
And you can`t harmonize
Find a girl with far away
And if you`re downright disgusted
And life ain`t worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes


Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
10 dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus,
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California
And next week they`d say my prayer on the radio and all my
Dreams would come true
So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got


So if you`re down on your luck
I know you all sympathize
Find a girl with far away eyes
And if you`re downright disgusted
And life ain`t worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes
