A Couple More Years lyrics

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,
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,
And that’s all.

I’ve walked a couple more roads than you babe,
That’s all,
And I’m tired of running, while you’re only learnin’ 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,
And that’s all.

Now sayin’ goodbye girl, don’t never come easy at all,
But you’ve gotta fly ‘cuz you’re hearing them young eagles call,
And some day when you’re older, you’ll smile at a man strong and tall,
And you’ll say I’ve got a couple more years on you babe,
And that’s all.

You’ll say 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,
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,
And that’s all.
