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
Every time I get a grip
I always lose it
I can't find the sunshine
For the rain
And you know I'm always sayin'
I'm sorry
But you stand by me
Through it all
Seems every time I make my mark
Somebody paints the wall
Every time I think I'm off and runnin'
I'm barely up to a crawl
Every time 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 every time I make my mark
Somebody paints the wall
Every time I think I'm off and runnin'
I'm barely up to a crawl
Every time 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 every time I make my mark
Somebody paints the wall
Seems like every time I make my mark
Somebody always paints the wall
