I've got a couple more years on you, baby, that's all
I've had more chances to fly, 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
You walked a couple more roads than me, baby,
that's all
You're tired of runnin' and I'm only learnin' to crawl
And I'm goin' somewhere, and I've been to somewhere
And I found it was nowhere at all
And I've picked up a couple more years on you, baby, that's all
Sayin' goodbye never comes easy at all
But I've got to fly 'cause I'm hearin' the young
eagle's call
Someday when you're older, you'll smile at a man strong and tall
You'll say I've got a couple more years on you, baby, that's all
I've got a couple more years on you, baby, that's all
(You've got a couple more years on me, baby,
that's all)
I've had more chances to fly, more places to fall
(You've had more chances to fly, more places to fall)
It's not that I'm wiser, it's just that I've spent
(It's not that you're wiser, it's just that you've spent)
More time with my back to the wall
(More time with your back to the wall)
And I've picked up a couple more years on you, baby, that's all
(And you've picked up a couple more years on me, baby, that's all)
I've picked up a couple more years on you, baby, that's all
(You've picked up a couple more years on me, baby, that's all)
