A Couple More Years

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's not 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, that's all

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

And I'm tired of runnin' while you're only learnin' to crawl

And you're goin' somewhere but I've been somewhere

Found it was nowhere at all

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

Sayin' goodbye, girl, don't never come easy at all

You've got to fly 'cause you're hearin' them young eagles call

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

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

It's not 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, that's all
