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 And 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.
