Lyrics: Yes
 
I've got a couple more years on you babe, that's all
I had more chances to fly and more places to fall
It's not that I'm wiser
It's only I've spent more time with my back to the wall
And I 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 running while you're only learning to crawl
And you're headed somewhere but I've been to somewhere
And I found it was nowhere at all
And I've picked up a couple more years on you babe, that's all
 
INTERLUDE
 
Sayin' goodbye, girl don't ever come easy at all
But you've gotta fly 'cause you're hearin' those young eagles call
Someday when you're older, you'll smile at a man
Just stare at a man strong and tall
You'll say I've got a couple more years on you babe, that's all
 
I've got a couple more years on you babe, that's all
I had more chances to fly and more places to fall
It's not that I'm wiser
It's only I've spent more time with my back to the wall
And I picked up a couple more years on you babe and that's all
And I picked up a couple more years on you babe and that's all
