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
