Jacob's Ladder / Blackberry Blossom Lyrics - Bruce Hornsby

I met a fan dancer down in southside Birmingham 

She was running from a fat man selling salvation in his hand 

She said he's trying to save me 

But I'm doing alright, the best that Ican 

Just a pair of fallen angels trying to get through the night 

Step by step, one by one, higher and higher 

Step by step, one by one, climbing Jacob's ladder 

Coming over the airwaves the man says I'm overdue 

Sing a song, send money, join the chosen few 

But mister I'm not in a hurry, and I don't want to be like you 

All I want from tomorrow is just to get it better than today 

Step by step, one by one, higher and higher 

Step by step, one by one, climbing Jacob's ladder
