Far Away Eyes
Thể Hiện: The Rolling Stones

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 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
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
..
