A Couple More Years

[Verse]
I've got a couple more years on me, baby
I have more chances to fly
And more places to fall
It ain't none wiser
It's all that I've spent
More time with my back to the wall
I picked a book up more years for you, baby
That's all
I rode a couple of new roads, my baby
That's all
I'm so tired of runnin'
While you're living only to crawl
And you're red in summer
But I've been to somewhere
In fact, it was nowhere at all!
I picked up a couple more years on you, lady
That's all

[Verse]
Now say me goodbye, girl
Don't ever come easy at all
But you've got to fly 'cause
You're earing and yearning these calls
And someday, when you're older
You'll smile at a man, strong and tall
And you say, I've got a couple more years on you, baby
That's all
I've got a couple more years on you, baby
That's all
I had more chances to fly and more places to fall
It ain't none wiser, it's all that I've spent
More time with my back to the wall
