Jacobs Ladder — текст песни (Mark Wills)

(tony martin/carl sweat/brenda sweat)



Jacob was a dirt poor farm boy

Raised at the fork in the road in a clapboard house

And rachael was a land barons daughter

Born with a silver spoon in her mouth

Her daddy said he wouldnt stand

For rachael to waste her life with a common man

He tried hard to keep them apart

But you cant draw lines in a young girls heart



So late one night by the harvest moon

Jacob climed a ladder up to rachaels 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 didnt seem to matter

cause heaven was waitin at the top of jacobs ladder



Itll be five years september

Since her daddy found a ladder and a note on her windowsill

He swore hed 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"



Late one night by the harvest moon

Your daddy climbed a ladder to your mamas room

He knew his place, it was right besde her

Step by step up to her world

Head over heels for my little girl

And here you are, thats all that matters

cause heaven was watin at the top of jacobs ladder



Oh, an angel was waitin at the top of jacobs ladder
