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
