Take off your hat, kick off your shoes
You know you ain't goin' anywhere
You spend all your time singin' your blues
You know you ain't goin' anywhere
You'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 wishin' well
In the wishin' well
Hhh
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 one day the sun will shine through
You'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 wishin' well
In the wishin' well
But I know what you're wishin' for
Love in a peaceful world
Love in a peaceful world
Love in a peaceful world
Hmm hmm hhh hhh hmm
Hhh
You'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 wishin' well
In the wishin' well
Everybody's got a dream
And they take it to the wishin' well
Everybody's got a dream
Hhh
Wishin' well
