I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the colored 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 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
She'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find
Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear
Was a girl with far away eyes
So if you're down on your luck
And you can't harmonize
Find a girl with far away
And if you're downright disgusted
And life ain't worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes
Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do wassend
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
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 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
The lyrics FAR AWAY EYES of ROLLING STONES is also present in the album Some girls (1978)
I Rolling Stones sono una leggendaria band rock britannica formatasi nel 1962 a Londra. Composta da Mick Jagger (voce), Keith Richards (chitarra), Ronnie Wood (chitarra) e Charlie Watts (batteria, deceduto nel 2021), i Rolling Stones hanno dominato la scena musicale per oltre mezzo secolo. La formazione storica includeva anche Bill Wyman (basso, ritiratosi nel 1993) e Brian Jones (multi-strumentista, deceduto nel 1969). Dopo la scomparsa di Jones, Mick Taylor ha sostituito il suo ruolo fino al 1974. I Rolling Stones sono considerati uno dei gruppi più influenti della storia del rock, con un sound caratterizzato da blues, hard rock e ritmi lascivi. Le loro canzoni spesso affrontano temi come sesso, droghe, disordini sociali e politica, diventando un'icona di ribellione e libertà. Tra i brani più rappresentativi: '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction', 'Jumpin' Jack Flash', 'Sympathy for the Devil' e 'Paint It Black'. Album fondamentali includono 'Let It Bleed', 'Sticky Fingers' e 'Exile on Main St.', che hanno contribuito a definire l'evoluzione del rock nel corso degli anni.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
