Maybe I Can Paint Over That Lyrics - Somedays The Song Writes You - Guy Clark

I've smeared my heart on my sleeve 

I've tagged my name on the wall 

It's probably time for me to leave 

Actin' big and talkin' small 

I've tracked blood in on the floor 

I put my first through the wall 

I've dragged trouble through the door 

And I've spilled wine on it all 

Maybe I can paint over that 

It'll probably bleed through 

Maybe I can paint over that 

But I can't hide it from you 

I've got some ink beneath my skin 

A good idea at the time 

I won't be doing that again 

Not with any arm of mine 

And I have stumbled in my time 

I left my footprints down the road 

And the part of me that shines 

Ain't the part of me that's showed 

Maybe I can paint over that 

It'll probably bleed through 

Maybe I can paint over that 

But I can't hide it from you 

Maybe I can paint over that 

It'll probably bleed through 

Maybe I can paint over that 

But I can't hide it from you
