Wishing Well Lyrics

Artist: Free
Album: Heartbreaker

Throw down 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.

And I know what you're wishing for
Time in a peaceful world
Time in a peaceful world
Time in a peaceful world
Time in a peaceful world

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.

Yes, that's true. And also... do you really hear "time in a peaceful world" ? I hear "love in a peaceful world"... But I'm not English, of course, I may be wrong.

Stephane you are correct. It is "love in a peaceful world.

In first line its "take of your hat" instead of "throw down your hat"

I believe there is version with "Time in a peaceful world" but is it the single version or what, I don't know.

by bassett on 11/2/2008 10:14am
yea i think there is a typo, its "love in a peaceful world" not "time in a peaceful world"

I always thought it was "love in a peaceful world" too. Great song and a great album. Brings back a lot of nice memories of 1973ish when I was a wild young man with my GF Jane.

Version by "White Diamond" is much better btw.

The intro's wrong too.
"TAKE OFF your hat, kick off your shoes...

Not "throw" off your hat.

At least not in the "standard" version.

AMAZING song though.

by andy#1 on 5/22/2011 10:30am
when it says time in a peaceful world i think it's but the first i don't think makes sense. Sorry if I am wrong but this is what I think. This is a great song:)

The best cover of this song was done by Blackfoot.

Hey there 'Sieg Heil' I knew Kossof very well and he and the band would have really hated you! Lets face it, who likes racists...
