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've always been a good fiend of mine
But you're always saying farewell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet 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
Some day the sun will shine through

You've always got something to hide
Something you just can't help
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well

But I know what you're wishing for-
Love in a peaceful world
Love in a peacefull world
Love in a peacefull world

You've always been a good friend of mine
But you're always saying farewell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well
