[00:00.18]
[00:16.69]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]
