Take off your hat, kick off your shoes
I know you ain't goin' anywhere
Run 'round the town singin' your blues
I know you ain't goin' anywhere.

You've always been a good, good friend of mine,
But you're always sayin' "Farewell"
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is when you dream from 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
Someday the sun will shine through.

You've always been a good, good friend of mine,
But you're always sayin' "Farewell"
And the only time you're satisfied
Is when you dream, dream from 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, good, good friend of mine,
But you're always sayin' "Farewell"
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well.
