Take off your hat, kick off your shoes 
I know you ain't going anywhere 
Look around, all your time you're singing your blues 
I know you ain't going 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 trying to do? 
Put up a fight, you believe to be right 
And some day 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 

But I know what you're wishing for 
It's love in a peaceful world 
It's love in a peaceful world 
And some 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
