Faraway Eyes (Live)
I was driving home early sunday morning through
Bakersfield CA

Listening to 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

Was a girl with far away eyes

I want take

So if you're down on your luck

And you can't harmonize
Get 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 the preacher kept right on saying that all
I had to do wassend
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

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
