Huey Lewis - Jacob's Ladder lyrics

I met a fan dancer down in southside Birmingham

She was running from a fat man

Selling salvation in his hand.

Now he's trying to save me

Well

I'm doing all right the best that I can.

Just another falling 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

. . .

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 and climbing

Step by step

one by one

step by step

rung by rung

Step by step

step by step

step by step.
