Lyric Jacob s Ladder

B. R. Hornsby/John Hornsby

I met a fan dancer down in southside Birmingham
She was running from a fat man selling salvation in his hand
She said he s tryin to save me
But I m doin alright, the best that i can
Just a pair of fallen angels tryin to get through the night

Step by step, one by one, higher and higher
Step by step, one by one, climbing Jacob s ladder

Comin over the airwaves the man says I m overdue
Sing a song, send money, join the chosen few
But mister I m not in a hurry, and I don t want to be like you
All I want from tomorrow is to get it better than today

Step by step, one by one, higher and higher
Step by step, one by one, climbing Jacob s ladder

All I want from tomorrow is to get it better than today
Step by step, one by one, higher and higher
Step by step, one by one, climbing Jacob s ladder
