George Jones — 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 Everytime 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 everytime I make my mark Somebody always paints the wall Everytime I think I'm off and running I'm barely up to a crawl Everytime 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 everytime I make my mark Somebody always paints the wall --- Instrumental --- 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 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 everytime I make my mark Somebody always paints the wall Seems like everytime I make my mark Somebody always paints the wall...
