I was drivin' home early Sunday morning

Through Bakersfield,

Listening to gospel music on the coloured radio station,

And the preacher said: "You know you always have the lord by your side"

And I was so pleased to be informed of this

That I ran twenty red lights in his honour,

Thank you Jesus, thank you lord

I had an arrangement to met 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 sittin' in a corner

Little bleary, worse for wear and tear

Was a girl with far away eyes

Well I tell you

So if you're down on you're 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

Well

Charlie looks like he'd pay to be anywhere else!! Guess that what happens when a jazz guy is forced to do a country song when he started a black influenced rock and roll band, lol

I love The Stones they didn't invent rock n roll but they perfected it .rock n roll honky tonk blues. these 5 faggots from England tried hard and showed the world they had soul.

This song cracked me up the first time I heard it, and it still does today! It really is just a parody of the genre (the Stones never really did any other country songs, did they?) Ronnie plays a mean pedal steel on this, too. Thanks for posting! A classic!

F-ing amazing. You can tell these guys were never trying to conform to commercialism. They played whatever they pleased, not worrying what everyone was going to think. At least that's my impression of their style. They are among the ultimate free spirits of music history
