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 legup 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.
