Intro: C--D--G
v.1
CI was drivin' home Dearly Sunday mornin' thru GBakersfield
Listenin' to gospel music on the colored radio station
And the Cpreacher said "You know, you Dalways have the Lord by your Gside!"
And I was so Cpleased to be informed of this that
I ran Dtwenty red lights in His honorG--C
Thank you GJesus, D thank you LordG
CI had an arrangement to meet a girl, but DI was kinda late
GAn' I thought by the time I got there she'd be off
With the Cnearest truck driver she could findD--G
Much to my surprise, there she was, Csittin' in the corner
A little Dbleary, a little Gworse for wear and tearC
Was a girl with far away eyes
So I tell you
Chorus:
So if you're Cdown on your Dluck
And you Gcan't harmoCnize [I know y'all sympathize]
Find [Get] a Ggirl with Dfar-away Geyes
And if you're Cdown-right disDgusted
And Glife ain't worth a Cdime
Get a Ggirl with Dfar-away Geyes

v.2
Well, the preacher kept right on sayin' that all I had to do was
Send ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleedin' heart of Jesus
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, Callifornia
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
So I tell you...
