You know, I've been writing songs
And singing them for nigh on thirty years
I like it
I love it!
It started out as a way for me to communicate
With other people and myself and the spirits
I don't want to say that it saved my life
But it gave me a life
So I took my show on the road
And I made some good friends that I still have today
And I talked to the girls that smiled at me
But in the end, I realized it's probably best just to let them be
I remember one girl in East Tennessee
Where girls in songs always seem to be
She said, "You should spend the night"
Looking for a hotel
It's important to not treat your lifeboat like a yacht
It's important to not treat your lifeboat like a yacht
As time wore on, I found myself increasingly turning to my guitar
Instead of other people in times of loneliness and sorrow and confusion
Which is the exact opposite reason of why I got into this in the first place
I started to wonder: is this creativity or pathology?
Am I the Pathol O.G. always one foot on the ladder to heaven?
Jacob's Ladder!
Jacob's Ladder!
Jacob's Ladder never seemed so tall
Sometimes I wonder: does it ever stop growing at all?
Friend would call, say, "Hey, let's get together at seven."
I'd say, "Sorry, pal, I got one foot on the ladder to heaven!"
Jacob's Ladder!
Jacob's Ladder!
Jacob's Ladder never seemed so tall
Sometimes I wonder: does it ever stop growing at all?
It's important to not treat your lifeboat like a yacht
It's important to not turn your lifeboat into a yacht
Sometimes you've got to just get off, just get off and walk
Just get off and walk
You got to lay that ladder down, boy
Lay that ladder down, boy
Lay that ladder down
Lay that ladder down, boy
Lay that ladder down
Lay that ladder down
Lay that ladder down boy and get a cross
Lay that ladder down, boy
Lay that ladder down
Lay that ladder down, boy
Lay that ladder down
Lay that ladder down
Lay that ladder down
Lay that ladder down and get across
Well bye
