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 and that`s all
And I`m tired of runnin` while you`re only learning to crawl
And you`re heading 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 saying goodbye girl, don`t never come easy at all
But you`ve gotta fly `cause you`re hearing them young eagles call
And 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 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
