I'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've spent more time with my back to the wall.
And 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.
And I'm tired of runnin' while you're only learning to crawl.
And you're headin' 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 babe... that's all.

Now sayin' goodbye, girl don't ever come easy at all.
But you've got to fly 'cuz you're hearin' them young eagles call.
And someday 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, babe... that's all.

You'll say - I'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.
It 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 babe... but that's all...
