A Couple More Years Songtext
von Dr. Hook

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, baby, 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 learnin' 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, babe, that′s all

Now saying goodbye, girl, don't never come easy at all
But you′ve gotta fly 'cause you′re hearing 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, baby, 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
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, and that's all
