PART 1:
I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
PART 2:
And the preacher said " you know you always have the lord
By your side"
PART 3:
And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
Twenty red lights in his honor
PART 4:
Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord
VERSE:
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 sitting in the corner
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear was a girl with
Far away eyes.

VERSE:
Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do
Was send ten dollars to the church of the Sacred 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
Chorus:
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
Chorus:
So if you're down on your luck
I know you all sympathize
B E
Find a girl with far away eyes
