A Couple More Years

I've got a couple more years on you, baby and that's all

I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall

It ain't that I'm wiser, it's just that I've spent

More time with my back to the wall

I've picked up a couple more years on you, baby and that's all

I've walked a couple more roads than you, baby and that's all

And I'm tired of running while you're only learning to crawl

And you're headed somewhere but I've been to somewhere

And found it was nowhere at all

I've picked up a couple more years on you, baby and that's all

Saying goodbye girl, don't ever come easy at all

But you're gonna fly 'cause you're hearin' them young eagles call

Someday when you're older, you'll smile at a man strong and tall

You'll say, I've got a couple more years on you, baby and that's all

I've got a couple more years on you, baby, that's all

I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall

It ain't that I'm wiser, it's just that I've spent

More time with my back to the wall

And I've picked up a couple more years on you, baby and that's all
