Take off your hat and kick off your shoes
I know you ain't going anywhere
Run around the town, singing your blues
I know you ain't going anywhere
You've always been a good friend of mine
But you're always saying farewell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is when your feet in the wishing well
Oh, yeah
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 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

But I know what you're wishing for
Love in a peaceful world, yes I know what you're wishing for
Love in a peaceful world, oh yes I know
Solo
You've always been a good friend of mine
But you're always saying farewell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Don't know I wish you
Way down there
I know everybody has a dream
And everybody has a wish
I wish you well
Way down deep and wish well
Don't wish well
Way down deep there
