I was at work and felt like hearing some talk radio so I started scanning stations I had never listened to before to change it up. Well I started listening to this one station and the host had a guest on that was a church pastor. Listeners would call in and the host would hand them off to the pastor.
The pastor would ask them a couple questions about themselves and then based on that and his prophetic insight he would tell them some things about their future! A Christian fortune teller if you will. One guy called to say he was in between jobs or something and was thinking about moving to Texas for new opportunity. The pastor said he felt very strongly that moving would bring him good fortune. Then at the beginning or end of some of the calls the host would say something like "youve just heard the word of God" or something to that effect.
I couldnt believe it. I was raised in church and seen things in my life but nothing like this.
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 eyes 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 was send 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, and 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
