About the Artist
Lyrics
You know I've been writing songs and singing them For nigh on 30 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 wanna 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 (loneliness) And sorrow (sorrow) And confusion (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 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 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 a cross Well, bye
