Free - Wishing Well Lyrics






Take off your hat
Kick off your shoes,
I know you ain't going anywhere.
Run 'round the town
Singing your blues
I know you ain't going anywhere.

You have always been
A good friend of mine
But you're always saying farewell
And the only time that you are satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well.

Throw down your gun
You might shoot yourself,
Or is that what you are tryin' to do,
Put up a fight
You believe to be right
And someday the sun will shine through.

You have always got
Something to hide
Something you just can't tell
And the only time that you are satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well.

Oh!
But I know what you're wishing for
Love and a peaceful world
Yeah
Love and a peaceful world
Oh! Yeah
Love and a peaceful world

You have always been
A good friend of mine
But you're always saying farewell
And the only time that you are 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
I wish you well.

    Not sure why so many thumbs down unless it’s young ones who prefer nonsense songs.

  3. C.... T....

    2020 and I am still listening to this classic

  4. P.... T....

    As you get older you don’t seem to realise just how good the music was then ,I’ll say it again there is nothing comes close to the music of the 50s60sand 70s it’s total garbage modern music and that’s putting it mildly👌

    P.... T....

    If you love folk and blues you could throw the thirties and forties into that mix also Paul.

  5. E.... E....

    I've sung this in every band I've ever been in.
    Rodgers is my influence.

  6. C.... R....

    Easily their best song.

    Bad Company continued to be great

  48. P.... F....

    Just absolutely brilliant, terrific band.

  49. D.... K....

    I love free myself but Blackfoot rocks this one. I feel like I'm gonna nap listening to this version

  51. P.... P....

    I love this song but Andy Fraser had left the band by then , replaced
    by Tetsu Yamauchi and Paul Kossoff only makes a few cameo
    performances on the album . Tetsu went on to join the Faces .

  52. r.... g....

    The band I play with at the moment open they’re set with this number,fucking hell makes my hair stand on end the response it gets

  53. J.... E....

    Great song from a great band.

  54. J.... M....

    It's the slide guitar +superb vocals +lyrics

  55. D.... L....

    fantastic track! Paul Rodgers gotta be the best vocalist in rock history. he can still sing this stuff with power.not many of em can all this time on ...

    D.... L....

    True class Daniel

    D.... L....

    Best vocalist ever Daniel and I mean EVER

  56. B.... S....

    Paul Rodgers always made it seem so effortless. His voice is so bluesy and soulful, yet very unaffected. His voice sounds like it should be easy to duplicate, but it isn't. Not saying he's the absolute best, because let's face it, you cannot say that about ANY singer, but is he among the greatest Rock singers ever? Absolutely!! (Along with Plant, Halford, Mercury, Daltrey, and several others.)

  57. A.... L....

    Loved dancing to this!

  58. T.... W....

    "Take off yo hat, kick off yo shoes," Da only time u r satisfy," with yo feet n da WISHIN WELL" Good Jams by Free😈

    @Andrew Matthews Yeah - listening is the closest we'll ever get, I'm afraid.

    R.... N....

    @Ron Nilson sadly you are right Ron but it would have been great thanks for reply

    R.... N....

    I'm 60. Feel like 18yrs when I listen to this. Amazing tune.

    R.... N....

    Ok boomer

  60. R.... H....

  61. J.... H....

    Memories from my youth glorious sound

  84. M.... M....

    Awsome song Rock in it free style

  85. z.... d....

    In Portuguese:
    "Desejo tudo de bom pra ti. Foi uma pena que as coisas tenham terminado desta forma, mas tu assim o quizeste, e entao eles nem se fala.... o tiro saíu pela culatra!!! Fez-se porcaria com um certo proposito, sò que o proposito é que nao estava certo, e por isso saiu ao contrario...
    Nao tomei esta decisao por causa do dinheiro, porque o meu objetivo è ficar aqui, mas sim por justiça. Mas se eles quizerem ver-se livres de mim vao ter que ser bem mais generosos!!!
    A vida por vezes tem dessas coisas. Faz-nos surpresas inesperadas. Eu seria muito parvalhao se continuasse à tua espera depois de tudo o que foi dito! Eles substimaram 2 coisas a meu respeito: a minha inteligencia. E a minha coragem.
    Talvez um dia eu te explique o segredo dessas duas qualidades..."

  86. M.... G....

    What a fucking hip band they were. Oh yes.

  87. J.... k....

    Muzyka mojej młodości!!!

  88. B.... C....

    Great song

  89. d.... b....

    Free is tight

  90. A.... M....

    best record ever made 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

  91. g.... ....

    And having since heard Bad Company it is so cool to hear the similar sounds in Free, their genesis

  92. g.... ....

    i had no idea that Free did this. I heard the song on the blackfoot album.

    g.... ....

    gk10002000 free were a SUPER group 🤘

    g.... ....

    Black Foot version is kick ass. I love southern rock. But I digress. Music is an art and today it seems Everyone Gets A Trophy. That’s bullshit.

    g.... ....

    R G
    Not a patch on this original

  93. S.... S....

    2019 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙋🙆🙆

  94. S.... M....

    My friends and myself are enjoying this. Greta my best friend has a thing for Paul Rogers. She says he's the best singer ever.

    S.... M....

    Do you ladies know that Paul Rodgers is Not in the rock and roll hall of fame. Not with bad company or free.
    Shame on them.

  95. W.... K....

    Ditto to the last comment,the best

  96. G.... E....

    One of the best rock bands ever with THE best rock singer ever.

    G.... E....

    Gerwyn Evans absolutely right Gerwyn a true classic by a fantastic singer/band 😎

  97. R.... S....

    Nice tune, sounds like something from my youth, early youth...

  98. S.... J....

    I love Lou Gramm's description of Free: "a group that was all strut and swagger." Paul Rodgers definitely has one of the best rock'n'roll voices.

    S.... J....

    Sharon Jensen Paul Rogers is a god what do u expect Sharon 😊

    S.... J....

    @Andrew Matthews Nothing less than.

  99. W.... K....

    One of the tracks that will be played forever in fact all free and bad company music will live forever love em
