letra de faraway eyes (live 1995) - the rolling stones

[spoken word: mick jagger]
i think i want one of these cowboy shirts for this section, i forgot that bit. we’re gonna dig this one out, it’s called “faraway eyes.”

[audience cheering]

[verse 1]
i was driving home through bakersfield early sunday morning
listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
and the preacher said, “you know you always have the
lord by your side”
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 with the nearest truck driver she could find
much to my surprise, there she was sitting in the corner
a little bleary
was a girl with far away eyes
so i tell ya

[chorus]
so if you’re down on your luck
and you can’t harmonize
get a girl with far away eyes
if you’re downright disgusted
and life ain’t worth a dime
get a girl with far away eyes
alright boys

[pedal steel guitar solo]

[spoken word: mick jagger]
we got someone else coming on to play. doug, are you coming on to play? that’s where you play doug

[violin solo]

[verse 2]
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 station
and all my dreams would come true
so i did, and the next week, i got a prayer
for the girl with the far away eyes
sing it

[chorus]
so if you’re down on your luck
i know y’all will sympathize
get a girl with far away eyes
if you’re downright disgusted
and life ain’t worth a dime
get a girl with far away eyes
one more time

[outro]
so if you’re down on your luck
i know y’all will sympathize
get a girl with far away eyes

[audience applause]
