Throw down your hat, kick off your shoes
I know you ain't goin' anywhere [bad word] '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.

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.

And I know what you're wishing for
Time in a peaceful world
Time in a peaceful world
Time in a peaceful world
Time 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.
