Take off your hat, kick off your shoes
You know you ain't goin' anywhere
Spend all your time singin' your blues
You know you ain't goin' anywhereYou've always been a good friend of mine
But you always say farewell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well, in the wishing wellThrow 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 one day the sun will shine throughYou've always got somethin' to hide
Somethin' you just can't tell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well, in the wishing wellBut I know what you're wishing for
Love in a peaceful world
Love in a peaceful world
Love in a peaceful world
Hmm, hmm, huhYou've always been a good friend of mine
But you always say farewell
The only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing wellIn the wishing well, in the wishing well
Everybody's got a dream
And they take it to the wishing well
Everybody's got a dream, huh wishing well
