When I Reach the Bottom

(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.

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

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.



So when I reach the bottom

You'd better be there...
