I was driving home early Sunday evening |
| [00:24.12] |
through Bakersfield |
| [00:24.81] |
|
| [00:25.44] |
Listening to Gospel music on the colored radio station |
| [00:29.18] |
And the preacher said, |
| [00:31.02] |
"You know you always have the lord by your side" |
| [00:35.22] |
And I was so pleased to be informed of this |
| [00:43.12] |
That I ran twenty red lights in his honor |
| [00:49.12] |
Thank you Jesus |
| [00:51.74] |
Thank you Lord |
| [00:55.81] |
I had an arrangement to meet a girl |
| [00:59.81] |
And I was kind of late |
| [01:03.33] |
And I thought by the time I got there, she'd be off |
| [01:06.61] |
She'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find |
| [01:11.19] |
When I get there, |
| [01:14.44] |
There was so much to my surprise |
| [01:16.65] |
There she was sitting in the corner |
| [01:17.90] |
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear |
| [01:20.93] |
Was a girl with far away eyes |
| [01:29.01] |
So if you're down on your luck |
| [01:33.41] |
And you can't harmonize |
| [01:38.04] |
Find a girl with far away eyes |
| [01:46.52] |
And if you're downright disgusted |
| [01:51.35] |
And life ain't worth a dime |
| [01:55.70] |
Get a girl with far away eyes |
| [02:04.45] |
|
| [02:38.49] |
Well the preacher kept right on saying that |
| [02:41.86] |
All I had to do was send |
| [02:43.32] |
Ten dollars to the |
| [02:44.09] |
Church of the Sacred Bleeding Heart of Jesus |
| [02:45.83] |
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California |
| [02:47.66] |
And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio |
| [02:50.18] |
And all my dreams would come true |
| [02:57.00] |
So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl |
| [03:07.67] |
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got |
| [03:10.54] |
So if you're down on your luck |
| [03:17.28] |
I know you all sympathize |
| [03:19.45] |
|
| [03:22.05] |
Find a girl with far away eyes |
| [03:30.33] |
And if you're downright disgusted |
| [03:33.12] |
|
| [03:34.99] |
And life ain't worth a dime |
| [03:38.59] |
Get a girl with far away eyes |
| [03:47.39] |
So if you're down on your luck |
| [03:52.09] |
I know you all sympathize |
| [03:56.32] |
Seen a girl with far away eyes |
| [04:13.70] |
Seen a girl with far away eyes |
