Take off your hat, kick off your shoes No, you're not going anywhere Run around the town, singing your blues No, you're not going anywhere

You've always been a good friend of mine and you always said farewell But the only time that you're satisfied is when your feet's in the wishing well

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 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

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 friend of mine and you always said farewell And the only time that you're satisfied is when your feet's in the wishing well Wishing well Wishing well Yeah
