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 (yeah)

Love in a peaceful world (oh yeah)

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 yeah, yeah

I wish you well

Well, you dream

Your own dream
