Tonight I Climbed the Wall

"Tonight I Climbed the Wall" is a song written and performed by American country music artist Alan Jackson. It was released in January 1993 as the second single from his album A Lot About Livin' (And a Little 'bout Love). It peaked at number 4 on both the United States Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart.^[1]

Content

The song discusses a couple that had been fighting. They had built a wall between them with all of the arguing and now the man in the song climbed that wall. He put all the disagreements behind them and went to his wife. After he made the climb and admitted his faults, he realized the things they were fighting over were small and unimportant.

Music video

The music video was directed by Jim Shea, and it is entirely in black and white. It switches between scenes of Alan performing live and a woman walking around on a farm. This is one of only two times when Jackson appears without his mustache, the second time being in the music video for "So You Don't Have to Love Me Anymore" in 2012.
