Guy Clark - Hangin' Your Life on the Wall lyrics

rate me

I used to be Juanita's old boyfriend

We sure gave 'em some stories to tell

Now I can't even find her picture

I guess I'm finally through foolin' myself

I used to be an ex-bullrider

Livin' on the edge of life itself

Now I can't even find my buckle

Looks like I'm finally through foolin' myself

Chorus

Hang on just as long as you can

Get up whenever you fall

Shake it off, Boys, and go 'round again

Don't be hangin' your life on the wall

I used to be forever chasin' firetrucks

I sure could raise me some hell

I don't know why I like to do that kinda stuff

I guess I wasn't through foolin' myself

I used to have a smokin' little fastball

I sure could show 'em some stuff

Now I can't even make it on the

church team anymore

I guess I'm finally through foolin' myself

Chorus Twice

Shake it off, Boys, and go 'round again

Don't be hangin' your life on the wall
