Lyrics
Take off your hat, 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 wishing well

But I know what you're wishing for
Love in a peaceful world
Love in a peaceful world
Love in a peaceful world

You have 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

Yes
I wish you well
I wish you well
Everybody has a wish
Everybody has a dream
I wish you well
