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