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
