The story behind the song

"Far Away Eyes" explores the loneliness of life and the possibility of finding love, driven by the feeling of driving alone and listening to the radio. The song incorporates elements of Bakersfield-style country music, a genre the band were longtime fans of, including the use of a pedal steel guitar. The verses are delivered in a half-sung, half-spoken style with a parodic Southern accent. At its heart, it captures a sense of poignant searching amidst everyday journeys.

Bb C F

I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield

Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station

And the preacher said,

F F/G Bb/A

"You know you always have the Lord by your side"

Bb C

And I was so pleased to be informed of this

F F/G Bb/A Bb

That I ran twenty red lights in his honor

F C F F/G Bb/A

Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord

Bb C F

I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late

F/G Bb/A

And I thought by the time I got there she'd be off

Bb C F

She'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find

F/G Bb/A Bb

Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner

C F F/G Bb/A Bb

A little bleary, worse for wear and tear

F C F F/G Bb/A

Was a girl with far away eyes

[Chorus]

Bb C

So if you're down on your luck

F F/G Bb/A Bb

And all my dreams would come true

So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl
