Guy Clark - Hanging Your Life on the Wall [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
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 fooling myself
I used to be an ex-bull rider
Living on the edge of life itself
Now I can't even find my buckle
Looks like I'm finally through fooling 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 hanging your life on the wall

[Verse 2]
I used to be forever chasing fire trucks
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 fooling myself
I used to have a smoking little fast ball
I sure could show them some stuff
Now I can't even make it
On the church team anymore
I guess I'm finally through fooling myself

[Chorus][x2]

[Outro]
Shake it off, boys and go around again
Don't be hanging your life on the wall
