Wishing Well 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
One foot in front and one behind
If I trip and fall, I'ma lose my mind
Ain't go no money, no gas, and no shame

[Chorus]
I need a shot of whiskey to soothe my soul
Exchange my luck for a pot of gold
Yeah, and 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, yeah

[Verse 2]
The bar just opened, the night's still young
Maybe pawn my guitar, pawn my guns
Well, put away that stuff, I can't get high
I checked my pockets, I checked the couch
I need to find some money 'fore the bars close down
I guess that wishin' well finally went dry

[Chorus]
I need a shot of whiskey to soothe my soul
Exchange my luck for a pot of gold
Yeah, and 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, just set me free
Just set me free, I need a shot of whiskey, yeah
I need a shot of whiskey, yeah
