Great tune
Do we have to remember the context of a 40 year old song to still enjoy it.
Our narrator just isn’t going to fall for fat men harassing exotic dancers selling salvation; and he certainly doesn’t want to be like the guys on the airwaves asking for money. (Hello, Mr. Swaggart. Mr. Bakker.)
Anyway, he’s doing all right, the best he can, climbing his own Jacob’s Ladder and all he wants “from tomorrow/Is to get it better than today” Works for me.
