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

I´ve walked a couple more roads than you babe and that´s all
And I´m tired of runnin´ while you´re only learning 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, and 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 voices 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 and 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
