Take off your hat, kick off your shoes
You know you ain't going anywhere
Spend all your time singing your blues
You know you ain't going anywhere

You've always been a good friend of mine
But you always say farewell
And the only time that you're satisfied
I with your feet in the wishing well
In the wishing well

Throw down your gun, you might shoot yourself
Or is that what you're trying to do?
Put up a fight you believe to be right
And one day the sun will shine through

You've always got something to hide
Something you just can't tell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well
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 always say farewell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well

In the wishing well
In the wishing well
Everybody's got a dream
And they take it to the wishing well
Everybody's got a dream
Wishing well
