Far Away Eyes Lyrics - Some Girls - Rolling Stones

I was driving home late one Sunday evening through Bakersfield, CA 

listening to gospel music on the colored radio station 

I heard the preacher say, "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 

You know 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 with 

the nearest truck driver she could find 

But when I got there, there she was, much to my surprise, sitting in the corner, a little worse for wear and tear 

Was the girl with the far away eyes 

So if you're down on your luck 

And you can't harmonize 

Get a girl with the far away 

And if you're downright disgusted 

And life ain't worth a dime 

Get a girl with thefar away eyes 

Well the preacher went right on saying that all I had to do was send Twenty dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus 

located somewhere in Los Angeles, CA 

And the next day they'd say my prayer on the radio station and all my dreams would come true 

So I did 

The next day, I got a prayer for the 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 the far away eyes 

And if you're downright disgusted 

And life ain't worth a dime 

Get a girl with the far away eyes 

So if you're down on your luck 

I know you all sympathize 

Get a girl with the far away eyes 

eyes 

Get a girl with the far away eyes
