Faraway eyes

Angy
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
