Take off your hat, kick off your shoes   You know you ain't going anywhere   Look around, all your time you're singing your blues   You 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 ina 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
