The Rolling Stones - Far Away Eyes lyrics

[The Rolling Stones - 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 be off
She'd be off with the nearest
Truck driver she could find
Much to my surprise
There she was sitting in the corner
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear
Was a girl with far away eyes



But I'll tell you

So if you're down on your luck
And you can't harmonize
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

Well

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 for the girl
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got
But I'll tell you

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

So if you're down on your luck
I know you all sympathize
Get a girl with far away eyes
