I've got a couple more years on you babe, that's all
I've had more chances to fly, more places to fall
Not 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 babe, that's all
I've walked a couple more roads than you babe, that's all
I'm tired of running while you're only learn-in' to crawl
You're headed somewhere, but I've been to somewhere
Found it was nowhere at all
I've got a couple more years on you babe, that's all
Saying goodbye girl, doesn't come easy at all
But you've got to fly 'cause you're hearing them young eagles call
Someday when you're older, you'll smile at a man strong and tall
And say I've got a couple more years on you babe, that's all
I've got a couple more years on you babe, that's all
I've had more chances to fly, more places to fall
Not 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 babe, that's all
