Lyrics William Clark Green

William Clark Green

Wishing Well

Tonight I'm going out on the town

Got to lose myself before I break down

I'm just tired of the wishing well stealing 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 is to the Wishing 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 bars 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 before the bars close down

I guess that wishing well finally went dry

I need a shot of Whiskey to sooth my soul

Exchange my luck for a pot of gold

Here is to the Wishing 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
