Somebody Paints the Wall

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

And 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 everytime I make my mark

Somebody paints the wall

Seems like everytime I make my mark

Somebody always paints the wall
