- A Couple More Years LyricsI’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’m 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 babe, that’s all
And I’m tired of running 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 baby, that’s all
Now saying goodbye, girl, don’t never come easy at all
But you’ve gotta fly cos you’re hearing them young eagles call
And some day 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 baby, that’s all
You’ll say 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
And it ain’t that I’m wiser
It’s only that I’m spent more time with my back to the wall
And I’ve picked up a couple more years on you baby, 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’m 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 babe, that’s all
And I’m tired of running 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 baby, that’s all
Now saying goodbye, girl, don’t never come easy at all
And some day 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 baby, that’s all
You’ll say 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
And it ain’t that I’m wiser
It’s only that I’m spent more time with my back to the wall
And I’ve picked up a couple more years on you baby, and that’s all
