G                                                     D
Now I've got a couple more years on you babe & that's all
                                              G
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
                              C
More time with my back to the wall
          D                                                   G
And I've picked up a couple a more years on you babe & that's all


Now 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 going somewhere but I've been to somewhere
And found it was nowhere at all
And I picked up a couple more years on you babe & that's all

break....    G   D   G

Sayin' goodbye girl don't ever come easy at all
But you got to fly cause you're hearin' them young eagles call
Someday when you're older
You'll smile at a man strong & told
And say I got a couple more years on you babe & that's all
