mark wills - jacob's ladder (live) كلمات الأغنية

[intro]
let’s get your hands up in the air tonight, come on

[verse 1]
jacob was a dirt poor farm boy
raised at the fork in the road in a clapboard house
rachel was a land baron’s daughter
born with a silver spoon in her mouth
her daddy said he wouldn’t stand
for rachel to waste her life with a common man
he tried hard to keep them apart
but you can’t draw lines in a young girl’s heart

[chorus]
so late one night by the harvest moon
jacob climbed a ladder up to rachel’s room
he knew his place, it was right beside her
step_by_step up to her world
head over heels for a brown_eyed girl
and gettin’ caught didn’t seem to matter
’cause heaven was waitin’ at the top of jacob’s ladder

[verse 2]
it’ll be five years september
since her daddy found the ladder and a note on her windowsill
he swore he’d never forgive them
but nothin’ melts a heart like a grandchild will
now she climbs up on his knee
says, “grandpa tell a story, the one about me”
he thinks back and his eyes shine
says, “listen child, once upon a time”
[chorus]
late one night by the harvest moon
your daddy climbed a ladder to your mama’s room
he knew his place, it was right beside her
step_by_step up to her world
head over heels for my little girl
and here you are, that’s all that matters
’cause heaven was waitin’ at the top of jacob’s ladder
oh, an angel was waitin’ at the top of jacob’s ladder

[outro]
thank you country music fans for making that our very first top_five record way back in june of ’96

- mark wills
