One More Coat of Paint

(P.Mark)
From the album One More Coat of Paint

Well I fell behind on payments
Now the bank’s closing in
Gonna drop her on the market
Head on down the road again

One more coat of paint
One more coat of paint
Slap it down, wipe it up
One should be enough
One more coat of paint

She’s a handy-man special
Needs some tender loving care
You’ll find her beams are solid, Jack
When you strip her bare

One more coat of paint…

I should’ve kept up with the upkeep
Too much rain and abuse
Now her pipes are rattling in the walls
All her screws are riding loose

One more coat of paint…

It won’t be hard to leave her
My memories are mixed
There ain’t a crack big enough
A can of paint won’t fix

One more coat of paint…

So Jack make me an offer
No doubt she’s priced for speed
If walls could talk
You’d find out how much work she really needs.

One more coat of paint…
