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's not 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, that's all
I've walked a couple more roads than you, baby, that's all And I'm tired of runnin' while you're only learnin' to crawl And you're goin' somewhere but I've been somewhere Found it was nowhere at all I've picked up a couple more years on you, baby, that's all
Sayin' goodbye, girl, don't never come easy at all You've got to fly 'cause you're hearin' them young eagles call Someday when you're older, you'll smile at a man strong and tall Say I've got a couple more years on you, baby, that's all
