So if you're down on your luck And you can't harmonize Find a girl with far away eyes And if you're downright disgusted And life ain't worth a dime Get a girl with far away eyes INSTRUMENTAL: VERSE: Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do Was send ten dollars to the church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California 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 Chorus: So if you're down on your luck I know you all sympathize Find a girl with far away eyes And if you're downright disgusted And life ain't worth a dime Get a girl with far away eyes Chorus: So if you're down on your luck I know you all sympathize Find a girl with far away eyes any questions, comments or corrections e-mail me at: [email protected]
