I was driving home early sunday morning through bakersfield |
| [00:22.24] |
|
| [00:23.59] |
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station |
| [00:26.77] |
|
| [00:28.15] |
And the preacher said you know you always have the |
| [00:31.73] |
Lord by your side |
| [00:33.25] |
|
| [00:36.60] |
And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran |
| [00:41.37] |
Twenty red lights in his honor |
| [00:43.23] |
|
| [00:46.70] |
Thank you jesus thank you lord |
| [00:51.22] |
|
| [00:57.37] |
I had an arrangement to meet a girl and I was kind of late |
| [01:01.72] |
|
| [01:02.76] |
And I thought by the time I got there she'd be off |
| [01:06.34] |
|
| [01:07.13] |
She'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find |
| [01:10.44] |
|
| [01:14.95] |
Much to my surprise there she was sitting in the corner |
| [01:18.98] |
|
| [01:20.54] |
A little bleary worse for wear and tear |
| [01:24.26] |
|
| [01:27.13] |
Was a girl with far away eyes |
| [01:31.59] |
|
| [01:37.09] |
So if you're down on your luck |
| [01:40.83] |
|
| [01:42.58] |
And you can't harmonize |
| [01:46.15] |
|
| [01:47.55] |
Find a girl with far away |
| [01:53.37] |
And if you're downright disgusted |
| [02:02.18] |
|
| [02:03.27] |
And life ain't worth a dime |
| [02:06.72] |
|
| [02:07.84] |
Get a girl with far away eyes |
| [02:13.60] |
|
| [02:39.33] |
Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send |
| [02:44.97] |
Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus |
| [02:50.26] |
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California |
| [02:53.78] |
And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio |
| [02:56.27] |
|
| [02:56.78] |
And all my dreams would come true |
| [02:58.78] |
|
| [02:59.90] |
So I did the next week I got a prayer with a girl |
| [03:09.94] |
|
| [03:11.43] |
Well you know what kind of eyes she got |
| [03:13.62] |
|
| [03:18.51] |
So if you're down on your luck |
| [03:22.31] |
|
| [03:23.60] |
I know you all sympathize |
| [03:27.74] |
|
| [03:28.89] |
Find a girl with far away eyes |
| [03:35.19] |
|
| [03:38.80] |
And if you're downright disgusted |
| [03:42.71] |
|
| [03:44.35] |
And life ain't worth a dime |
| [03:47.91] |
|
| [03:48.98] |
Get a girl with far away eyes |
| [03:55.45] |
|
| [03:58.86] |
So if you're down on your luck |
| [04:02.62] |
|
| [04:03.96] |
I know you all sympathize |
| [04:08.08] |
|
| [04:09.15] |
Get a girl with far away eyes |
| [04:16.54] |
