Somebody Paints the Wall

If my old truck was a horse

I'd have to shoot it

Lord the day my ship came in

I was waiting for a train

Everytime I get a grip, I always lose it

I can't find the sunshine for the rain

And you know I'm always saying I'm sorry

But you stand by me through it all

Seems everytime I make my mark

Somebody paints the wall

Everytime I think I'm off and runnin

I'm barely up to a crawl

Everytime I get a legup on the ladder of success

I slip and fall

Like last week down at the factory

I was up for a promotion

But the boss says little brother got the call

Seems everytime I make my mark

Somebody paints the wall

Everytime I think I'm off and runnin

I'm barely up to a crawl

Everytime I get a leg up

On the ladder of success, I slip and fall

Like last week down at the factory

I was up for a promotion

But the boss says little brother got the call

Seems everytime I make my mark

Somebody paints the wall

Seems like everytime I make my mark

Somebody always paints the wall.
