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 |
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
Find a girl with far away EYES |
