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
