Hangin' Your Life On The Wall Lyrics - Dublin Blues - 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
