Take off your hat, kick off your shoes

No, you're not going anywhere

Run around the town, singing your blues

No, you're not going anywhere



You've always been a good friend of mine and you always said farewell

But the only time that you're satisfied is when your feet's 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

Someday 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 when your feet's in the wishing well



And 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 and you always said farewell

And the only time that you're satisfied is when your feet's in the wishing well

Wishing well

Wishing well

Yeah
