(Loretta Lynn - Lorene Allen)

You want me to come down to your level you know that's pretty low

That looks like I will soon be there cause I don't have very far to go

You turn my feet in your direction and I follow everywhere

So when I reach the bottom you'd better be there

I'm going down the ladder one step at a time

I'm going down the ladder that I'll never climb

You keep a saying come on down like a fool I ask you where

So when I reach the bottom you'd better be there

[ steel ]

The road we're on is a going down the hill and I'm turning where you turn

You're teaching me your way of life and it didn't take me very long to learn

I'll do anything you want me to I've got to where I don't care

But when I reach the bottom you'd better be there

I'm going down the ladder...

So when I reach the bottom you'd better be there
