Jacob's Ladder Lyrics - Bruce Hornsby

I met a fan dancer down 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 

Oh no, 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, we're climbing Jacob's Ladder 

Comin' over the airwaves, the man says I'm overdue 

Sing a song, send some money, join the chosen few 

Yes, mister I'm not in a hurry and I don't want to be like you, no, no 

All I want from tomorrow is to get it better than today 

Step by step, one by one, we're climbing, climbing 

Step by step, one by one, we're climbing Jacob's Ladder 

Climbing, climbing, climbing Jacob's Ladder 

All I want from tomorrow is to get it better than today 

Step by step, one by one, we're climbing, climbing 

Step by step, one by one, we're climbing Jacob's Ladder 

Climbing Jacob's Ladder, Jacob's Ladder 

Step by step
