rate me

(m. jagger/k. richards)<br><br>I was driving home early sunday morning through bakersfield<br>Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station<br>And the preacher said, you know you always have the<br>Lord by your side<br><br>And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran<br>Twenty red lights in his honor<br>Thank you jesus, thank you lord<br><br>I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late<br>And I thought by the time I got there she'd be off<br>She'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find<br>Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner<br>A little bleary, worse for wear and tear<br>Was a girl with far away eyes<br><br>So if you're down on your luck<br>And you can't harmonize<br>Find a girl with far away<br>And if you're downright disgusted<br>And life ain't worth a dime<br>Get a girl with far away eyes<br><br>Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send<br>Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of jesus<br>Located somewhere in los angeles, california<br>And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio<br>And all my dreams would come true<br>So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl<br>Well, you know what kind of eyes she got<br><br>So if you're down on your luck<br>I know you all sympathize<br>Find a girl with far away eyes<br>And if you're downright disgusted<br>And life ain't worth a dime<br>Get a girl with far away eyes
