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
