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
