a couple more years

i've got a couple more years on you babe that's all

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

and it ain't that i'm wiser

it's only that i've spent more time with my back to the wall

and i've picked up a couple more years on you babe that's all

don't you know i've walked a couple more roads than you babe that's all

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

and you're headin' somewhere but i've been to somewhere and found it was nowhere at all

and i've picked up a couple more years on you babe that's all

now

sayin' goodbye boy don't ever come easy at all

but you've got to fly 'cause you're hearing those young eagles call

and someday when you're older i'll smile at a man strong and tall

and you'll say i've got a couple more years on you babe that's all

you'll say i've got a couple more years on you babe that's all

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

and it ain't that i'm wiser

it's only that i've spent more time with my back to the wall

and i've picked up a couple more years on you babe that's all

yeah

i've got a couple more years on you babe that's all

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

and it ain't that i'm wiser

it's only that i've spent more time with my back to the wall

and i've picked up a couple more years on you babe that's all
