I've got a couple more years on you baby that's all
I've had more chances to fly more places to fall
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 baby that's all

I've walked a couple more roads than you baby that's all
And I'm tired of running while you're only learning to crawl
And you're goin' 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 that's all
Now saying goodbye girl don't ever come easy at all
But you've got to fly cause you're hearing those young eagles call
Someday when you're older you'll smile at someone younger and eager to fall
You'll say I got a couple more years on you baby that's all
And you'll say I got a couple more years
You'll say honey I've picked up a couple more years on you baby that's all
