VERSE: 
      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, 
      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, worse for wear and tear was a girl with 
      Far away eyes.

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

      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

      Find a girl with far away eyes
