《Jacob’s Ladder》歌词

[00:00:00] Jacob's Ladder - Mark Wills

[00:00:00] Written by：Sweat|Martin

[00:00:13] Jacob was a dirt poor farm boy

[00:00:15] Raised at the fork in the road in a clapboard house

[00:00:22] And Rachael was a land baron's daughter

[00:00:25] Born with a silver spoon in her mouth

[00:00:32] Her daddy said he wouldn't stand

[00:00:34] For Rachael to waste her life with a common man

[00:00:41] He tried hard to keep them apart

[00:00:44] But you can't draw lines in a young girl's heart

[00:00:50] So late one night by the harvest moon

[00:00:53] Jacob climed a ladder up to Rachael's room

[00:00:56] He knew his place it was right beside her

[00:01:02] Step by step up to her world

[00:01:05] Head over heels for a brown-eyed girl

[00:01:08] And gettin' caught didn't seem to matter

[00:01:14] 'Cause heaven was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder

[00:01:30] It'll be five years September

[00:01:33] Since her daddy found a ladder and a note on her windowsill

[00:01:40] He swore he'd never forgive them

[00:01:43] But nothin' melts a heart like a grandchild will

[00:01:49] Now she climbs up on his knee

[00:01:52] Says "Grandpa tell a story the one about me"

[00:01:58] He thinks back and his eyes shine

[00:02:01] Says "Listen Child once upon a time"

[00:02:08] Late one night by the harvest moon

[00:02:11] Your daddy climbed a ladder to your mama's room

[00:02:14] He knew his place it was right besde her

[00:02:20] Step by step up to her world

[00:02:23] Head over heels for my little girl

[00:02:26] And here you are that's all that matters

[00:02:32] 'Cause heaven was watin' at the top of Jacob's ladder

[00:02:38] Oh an angel was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder
