William Clark Green - Wishing Well Lyrics

William Clark Green Lyrics

"Wishing Well"

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

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

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

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

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

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
