Somebody Always Paints the Wall Songtext
von George Jones

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 slip 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
