I think a girl with the far away eyes is longing for something and maybe a little sad too. Love the song sooooooooooo much.

Always assumed he was singing about a hooker....a gal whose seen it all and done it all...been there done that...faraway eyes...
"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..."

In Nashville Zip Code Tour as I was walking across the Bridge, we all stopped heard them rehearsing all 3, couldn't believe that night we got, Dead Flowers, Wild Horses and Far Away Eyes, but couldn't have been any other city to get those three that night!

It’s about a dumb girl. If you watch the video and listen to the way Mick sings it and watch his expressions, he’s being hilariously funny and sarcastic. The video makes me laugh. She has far away eyes because she’s not that intelligent.
