Far Away Eyes Lyrics - The Rolling Stones

1 I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield

2 Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station

3 And the preacher said, "You know you always have the Lord by your side"

4 And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran

5 Twenty red lights in his honor

6 Thank you Jesus, thank you lord

7 I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late

8 And I thought by the time I got there she'd be off

9 She'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find

10 Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner

11 A little bleary, worse for wear and tear

12 Was a girl with far away eyes

13 So if you're down on your luck

14 And you can't harmonize

15 Find a girl with far away eyes

16 And if you're downright disgusted

17 And life ain't worth a dime

18 Get a girl with far away eyes

19 Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send

20 Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus

21 Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California

22 And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio

23 And all my dreams would come true

24 So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl

25 Well, you know what kind of eyes she got

26 So if you're down on your luck

27 I know you all sympathize

28 Find a girl with far away eyes

29 And if you're downright disgusted

30 And life ain't worth a dime

31 Get a girl with far away eyes
