Hangin' Your Life On The Wall

Guy Clark · Other Songs - Guy Clark

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: x2]



Shake it off, Boys, and go 'round again

Don't be hangin' your life on the wall
