Take off your hat kick off your shoes

I know you're not goin' anywhere

Running around town singin' your blues

You know you're not goin' anywhere

You've always been a good friend of mine

But you just keep I'm saying farewell

And the only time that you're satisfied

Is with your feet in the wishing well

Throw down your gun

You might shoot yourself

Or is that what you're tryin' to do

Put up a fight you believe to be right

And some day the sun will shine through

You've always got somethin' to hide

Somethin' you just can't tell

And the only time that you're satisfied

Is in your feet in the wishing well

But I know what you're wishing for

Love in a peaceful world

Love in a peaceful world

Love in a peaceful world

You've always been a good friend of mine

But you just keep I'm saying farewell

And the only time that you're satisfied

Is in your feet in the wishing well

Wishing well

Wishing well

Wishing well
