Take off your hat and 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
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 wishin' well
But I know what you're wishin' for Love in a peaceful world Love in a peaceful world Love in a peaceful world
