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 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

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 like everytime i make my mark

somebody paints the wall

seems everytime i make my mark

somebody always paints the wall
