Far Away Eyes

I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield

Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station

And the preacher said, “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

 

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 sittin in the corner

A little bleary, worse for wear and tear

Was a girl with far away eyes

————————————————————-

CHORUS:

So if you’re down on your luck

And you can’t harmonize (2ND TIME: 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

——————————————————————–

Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send

Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding 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

Worked the bars and sideshows along the twighlight zone

 

Only a crowd can make you feel so alone

 

And it really hit home

 

Booze and pills and powders, you can choose your medicine

 

Well here’s another goodbye to another good friend

(use chorus tab)

After all is said and done

I better move while it’s still fun

I better walk before they make me run

Watched the taillights fading, there ain’t a dry eye in the house

They’re laughing and singing

Started dancing and drifting as I left town

Gonna find my way to heaven, `cause I did my time in hell

I wasn’t looking too good but I was feeling real well

After all is said and done

I better move I had my fun

I better walk before they make me run

(bridge) G – D – F – C – A#
