Shel Silverstein
Couple More Years
I've got a couple a more years on ya baby, that's all
Girl I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall
It's not that I'm wiser it's just that I've spent more time with my back to the wall
Picked up a couple a more years on ya baby, that's all
I've walked a couple a more roads than you baby that's all
Girl I'm tired of running while you're only learning to crawl
You're headed somewhere I've been to somewhere found it was nowhere at all
I've picked up a couple of more years on ya baby that's all
Saying goodbye girl don't ever come easy at all
For your gonna fly 'cause you're hearing those young eagles call
Someday when you're older you'll smile at a man strong and tall
Say I've got a couple more years on ya baby
That's all
I've got a couple more years on ya baby that's all
Honey I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall
It's not that I'm wiser it's just that I've spent more time with my back to the wall
I've got a couple of more years on ya baby, that's all
That's all
It's not that I'm wiser it's just that I've spent more time with my back to the wall
I've got a couple a more years on ya baby
That's all
