[00:-1.00]Mark Wills - Jacob's Ladder
[00:02.32].
[00:04.07].
[00:05.63].
[00:13.51]Jacob was a dirt poor farm boy
[00:15.89]Raised at the fork in the road in a clapboard house
[00:22.82]And Rachael was a land baron's daughter
[00:25.94]Born with a silver spoon in her mouth
[00:32.01]Her daddy said he wouldn't stand
[00:34.44]For Rachael to waste her life with a common man
[00:41.44]He tried hard to keep them apart
[00:44.13]But you can't draw lines in a young girl's heart
[00:48.94].
[00:50.19]So late one night by the harvest moon
[00:53.63]Jacob climed a ladder up to Rachael's room
[00:56.70]He knew his place, it was right beside her
[01:02.97]Step by step up to her world
[01:05.97]Head over heels for a brown-eyed girl
[01:08.91]And gettin' caught didn't seem to matter
[01:14.92]'Cause heaven was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder
[01:21.29].
[01:30.73]It'll be five years September
[01:33.72]Since her daddy found a ladder and a note on her windowsill
[01:40.35]He swore he'd never forgive them
[01:43.41]But nothin' melts a heart like a grandchild will
[01:49.16]Now she climbs up on his knee
[01:52.28]Says, "Grandpa, tell a story, the one about me"
[01:58.53]He thinks back and his eyes shine
[02:01.54]Says, "Listen Child, once upon a time"
[02:07.35].
[02:08.03]Late one night by the harvest moon
[02:11.03]Your daddy climbed a ladder to your mama's room
[02:14.16]He knew his place, it was right besde her
[02:20.29]Step by step up to her world
[02:23.47]Head over heels for my little girl
[02:26.66]And here you are, that's all that matters
[02:32.41]'Cause heaven was watin' at the top of Jacob's ladder
[02:37.78].
[02:38.48]Oh, an angel was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder
[02:43.23].
