Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
You've always been a 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
[Verse 2]
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 someday the sun will shine through
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Oh-oh
[Bridge]
But I know what you're wishing for
Love in a peaceful world
Yeah
Love in a peaceful world
Oh yeah
Love in a peaceful world
[Chorus]
You've always been a 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
[Outro]
Oh yeah
I wish you well
Ooh, a wishing well
Yeah, everybody has a wish
Everybody has a dream, yeah-yeah
A wishing well
