If his soul was as clean as his pockets If he died he'd be in heaven today But he followed a fool hearted woman He cut a pact with the devil to pay She wanted the things that her neighbors had that a poor man couldn't provide She took a back bone man for his money and he took his love and died. So throw your money in a wishin' well Be proud of what you got and who you are Don't you go changing with every falling star 'Cause when they hit the ground you'll follow 'em down and end your life in a wishin' well I am just one single coin that lives with a thousand dreams Some come true for some folks some land on a dead end street When they take me out of this wishin' well I'll belong to another soul I pray to God they don't throw me away I wanna reach for the sinful gold So throw your money in a wishin' well Be proud of what you got and who you are Don't you go changing with every fallin' star 'Cause when they hit the ground you'll follow 'em down and end your life in a wishin' well So throw your money in a wishin' well Be proud of what you got and who you are Don't you go changing with every fallin' star 'Cause when they hit the ground you'll follow 'em down and end your life in a wishin' well When they hit the ground you'll follow 'em down and end your life in a wishin' well
