Jacob's Ladder

from Handcuff County by Ryan M. Brewer

/

lyrics

Fightin’ and fussin’, squawlin’ and cussin’.
Oil and water, rain and rust.
Tell God to trickle on down - meet me in the alley.
Rain falls hard on the mountain top, but we’re still bone dry in the valley.
Rags to riches. Studs and bitches.
Cats and dogs - sticks, stones and stitches.
Tell God to jump the gate - meet me underneath the interstate. Rainwater runs under the bridge - the tide rises everyday.
I’ll climb Jacob’s ladder.
I never wanted to write you of - I didn’t want to give up but here we are! You never come when I cat-call. Give us one of your prat falls, here we are!
Barkin’ and bitin’, hauntin’ and hidin’.
Ghosts and corpses, coal and diamonds.
Tell God to jump the gap - get inside me a swim a lap.
Rain water drippin’ down my eyes - baptized by the blue skies.
I’ll climb Jacob’s ladder.
