Paintin' Signs Songtext
von Eric Bibb

Spent a lot of time in my house
Pretendin′ I wasn't home
Bills and junk mail pilin′ up by the door
Sittin' at the window in a dream
Lyin' to myself, that′s for sure
See, what I was really doin′, paintin' signs

Soul on strike
Sorry closed
Gone fishin′
Back next week
Under repair
Out of order
Help wanted
Dead end street


Losin' weight and losin′ my mind
One day at a time, oh Lord
In the mirror, face growin' thinner
Foolin′ myself but no one else
Peepin' through life's blinds, skippin′ dinner
What I was really doin′, paintin' signs

Soul on strike
Sorry closed
Gone fishin′
Back next week
Under repair
Out of order
Help wanted
Dead end street

Sittin' at the window in a dream
Tellin′ myself I was fine, lyin'
What I was really doin′, paintin' signs
