Now I've got a couple more years on you babe and 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 a more years on you babe and that's all



Now I've walked a couple more roads than you babe and that's all

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

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

And found it was nowhere at all

And I picked up a couple more years on you babe and that's all



Sayin' goodbye girl don't ever come easy at all

But you 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

And say I got a couple more years on you babe and that's all



You'll say

Now I've got a couple more years on you babe and 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 a more years on you babe and that's all



mmmmm mmmm mmmm mmmmm mmm
