A Couple More Years Lyrics - Timeless - 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 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 learnin' 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 never come easy at all 

But you've gotta fly 'cause 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, 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"
