Wishing Well lyrics
by William Clark Green
[Verse 1]
Tonight I'm goin' out on the town
Gotta lose myself 'fore I break down
I'm just tired of the wishin' well stealin' my change
[Verse 2]
One foot in front and one behind
If I trip and fall I'm gonna lose my mind
Ain't go no money, no gas, and no shame
[Chorus]
I need a shot of whiskey to sooth my soul
Exchange my luck for a pot of gold
Here's to the wishin' well that never gives
I need a shot of whiskey to ease my mind
If it's bad luck it ain't no friend of mine
So repay your debt so I can live
Just set me free, I need a shot of whiskey
[Verse 3]
The bar just opened the night's still young
Maybe pawn my guitar, pawn my gun
Put away that stuff, I can't get high
[Verse 4]
I checked my wallet, I checked the couch
I need to find some money 'fore the bars close down
I guess that wishin' well finally went dry
