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' 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 wishing well 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 wishing well But 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 But you always say farewell And the only time that you're satisfied Is with your feet in the wishing well
