I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
G D
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
G C
And the preacher said, "You know you always have the
G D
Lord by your side"
G
And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
C G D
Twenty red lights in his honor Thank you Jesus, thank you lord
G C G D
G C
I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late
G D
And I thought by the time I got there she'd be off
G C
She'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find
G D
Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner
G C
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear
G D G
Was a girl with far away eyes
C D
So if you're down on your luck
G C G C
And you can't harmonize (2ND TIME: I KNOW YOU ALL SYMPATHIZE)
G D G
Find a girl with far away EYES
C D
And if you're downright disgusted
G C
And life ain't worth a dime
G D G
Get a girl with far away eyes
G C
Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
G D
Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus
G C
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California
G D
And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio
G C
And all my dreams would come true
G D
So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl
G D G
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got
