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 that's all

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

And I'm tired of runnin 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 that's all

Sayin goodbye girl don't never come easy at all

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

Someday 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 that's all

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

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

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
