Take off your hat, kick off your shoes

You know you ain't going anywhere

You spend all your time singing your blues

You know you ain't going anywhere



You've always been a good friend of mine

Your heart it bids farewell

The only time 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 trying to do?

Put up the 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

The only time you're satisfied

Is with your feet in the wishing well, yeah



You know what you're wishing for

Love in a peaceful world

Love in a peaceful world

Love in a peaceful world, yeah



You've always been a good friend of mine

Your heart it bids farewell

The only time you're satisfied

Is with your feet in the wishing well, yeah



No, everybody has a dream, yeah

Oh no, no, no, oooh

I wish you well, yeah

I know, know

All you're looking for is love
