Song Lyrics

Everybody wants to leave this town
But don't let that one red light slow you down
Go on and chase your crazy dreams around
A piece of tin blew off the barn last night
I've got my own ladders to climb

My baby's names up on the water tank
A big, "I Love You" left by her old flame
Man I can't look at it another day
I've got some elbow grease and some turpentine
I've got my own ladders to climb

Don't need to be on top
I'm good with what I've got
Just let me hang one bright
Star up there in the sky
And try to be the man
My baby thinks I am
Just wanna live my life
One step at a time
Yeah, I've got my own ladders to climb

The day is coming when they load that train
With all the sinners he turned into saints
And I know right now that's something that I ain't
And I don't want to be left behind
So I've got my own ladders to climb

Don't need to be on top
I'm good with what I've got
Just let me hang one bright
Star up there in the sky
And try to be the man
My baby thinks I am
Just wanna live my life
One step at a time
Yeah, I've got my own ladders to climb

Can't buy a ticket there
You've got to earn your fair
Just let me be one bright
star up there in the sky
And do the best I can
To be a better man
Just want to live my life
One step at a time
Yeah, I've got my own ladders to climb

Well I've got my own, ladders to climb
Ladders to climb
