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
