Take off your hat

kick off your shoes,

I know you ain't going anywhere.

Run 'round the town

singing your blues

I know you ain't going anywhere.

You have always been

a good friend of mine

but you're always saying farewell

and the only time that you are satisfied

is with your feet in the wishing well.

Throw down your gun

you might shoot yourself,

or is that what you are tryin' to do,

put up a fight

you believe to be right

and someday the sun will shine through.

You have always got

something to hide

something you just can't tell

and the only time that you are satisfied

is with your feet in the wishing well.

Oh!

But I know what you're wishing for

Love and a peaceful world

Yeah

Love and a peaceful world

Oh! Yeah

Love and a peaceful world

You have always been

a good friend of mine

but you're always saying farewell

and the only time that you are satisfied

is with your feet in the wishing....well.

Yes

I wish you well

I wish you well

everybody has a wish

everybody has a dream

I wish you well.
