Somebody Always Paints the Wall

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 enjoy the sunshine for the rain. Hon., you know I'm always saying I'm sorry But you stand by me through it all Seems like every time I make my mark Somebody always paints the wall. Every time I think I'm off and running I'm barely up to a crawl Every time I get a leg up on the ladder of success I shake and fall. Back last week down at the factory I was up for a promotion And the bosses little brother got the call Seems like every time I make my mark Somebody always paints the wall. 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 some news there's nothing to it You're my only pleasure from the pain. Hon., you know I'm always saying I'm sorry But you stand by me through it all Seems like every time I make my mark Somebody always paints the wall. Seems like every time I make my mark Somebody always paints the wall
