I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
G DListening to gospel music on the colored radio station
G CAnd the preacher said, "You know you always have the
Lord by your side"
GAnd I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
C G DTwenty red lights in his honor Thank you Jesus, thank you lord
G C G D
I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late
G DAnd I thought by the time I got there she'd be off
G CShe'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find
Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner
G CA little bleary, worse for wear and tear
G D GWas a girl with far away eyes
CHORUSC D
So if you're down on your luck
G C G CAnd you can't harmonize (2ND TIME: I KNOW YOU ALL SYMPATHIZE)
Find a girl with far away EYES
C DAnd if you're downright disgusted
G CAnd life ain't worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes
G CWell the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
G DTen dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California
G DAnd next week they'd say my prayer on the radio
G CAnd all my dreams would come true
So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl
G D GWell, you know what kind of eyes she got
