Huey Lewis And The News - Jacobs Ladder lyrics

I met a fan dancer

Down in South Side Birmingham

She was running from a fat man

Selling salvation in his hand

Now he's trying to save me

We'll I'm doing alright the best that I can

Just another fallen angel

Trying to get through the night

Step by step, one by one, higher and higher

Step by step, rung by rung climbing Jacob's ladder

Coming over the airwaves

The man says I'm overdue

Sing along, send some money

Join the chosen few

Well mister I'm not in a hurry

And I don't want to be like you

And all I want from tomorrow

Is to get it better than today

Step by step, one by one, higher and higher

Step by step, rung by rung climbing Jacob's ladder
