Clark, Guy - Maybe I Can Paint Over That Lyrics






I've smeared my heart on my sleeve
I've tagged my name on the wall
It's prob'ly 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 prob'ly 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 prob'ly bleed through
Maybe I can paint over that
But I can't hide it from you

Maybe I can paint over that
It'll prob'ly bleed through
Maybe I can paint over that
But I can't hide it from you

    im glad I grew up with this kind of music and not the new stuff which isn't good at all.

    Heartbreaking, just as it should be....

    Thanks for posting....even if it's a heartfelt heartache.

  5. F.... C....

    One of my heroes. His spirit has flown,but he lives in me each day

  7. W.... W....

    Damn, what a great song!

  8. R.... H....

    A fantastic song! Such wonderful imagery! Those who gave it a thumbs down should be locked in a room and made to listen to mindless "bubblegum" music for eternity!

    R.... H....

    those who gave it a thumbs-down prefer bubblegum music.

  9. a.... a....

    my husband plays "maybe I Can Paint Over That" and I cant sing it ...I get too choked up.... I miss Guy Clark and always will. What a man and musician and songwriter

  10. S.... S....

    Some shit, you just can't paint over.

    S.... S....

    S.... S....

    If we listened to more GC, maybe we could!

    S.... S....

    Yeah, it'll probably bleed through

  11. A.... N....

    One person can't paint over that

  12. M.... ....

    I would maybe have a complaint about this guy if he wasn't one of the best. And I am so grateful that he came into my orbit awhile before he died. His music has contributed to a lot of what today shapes my soul (and my life). A true gem for real.

    M.... ....

    i saw your stupidity on another video of this legend, if you don't appreciate him why are you listening just fuck off no one gives a shit what your think, i believe your comment before was he wasn't very well known, well thats bullshit, and millions know that

  13. B.... Q....

    man, I miss you.
    thank you for all the soul healing tunes, for putting to words our everyday lives. some of us needed you more than others......

    B.... Q....

    I really miss Mr. Guy Clark...heals me every time I hear his music!!

    B.... Q....

    He was a godsend

    B.... Q....

    He is QUINTESSENTIAL Texas Country, touched me more than probably any of the others, although James Mcmurtry is a very close 2nd!

  14. l.... ....

    RIP.....
