Take off your hat, kick off your shoes
I know you ain't goin' anywhere
Run 'round the town singin' your blues
I know you ain't goin' anywhere

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

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 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 with your feet in the wishing well, oh yeah

And I know what you're wishing for
(Love in a peaceful world)
Yeah
(Love in a peaceful world)
Oh, yeah
(Love in a peaceful world)

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