[Verse 1]
Take off your hat, kick off your shoes
I know you ain't going anywhere
Run 'round the town singing your blues
I know you ain't going anywhere

[Chorus]
You've always been a good friend of mine
But you're always saying farewell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well

[Verse 2]
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 someday the sun will shine through

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
And I know what you're wishing for
Love and a peaceful world
Love and a peaceful world
Love and a peaceful world
Love and a peaceful world
[Chorus]
You've always been a good friend of mine
But you're always saying farewell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well

[Outro]
I wish you well
The wishing well
Everybody has a wish
Everybody has a dream
I wish you well
You have to dream your own dream
