ROLLING STONES lyrics : "far away eyes"

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
Ten 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
