(Shel Silverstein - Dennis Locorriere)

I've got a couple more years
On you baby, that's all
I've had more chances to fly
More places to fall.

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 baby, that's all
And I'm tired of running while
You're only learning to crawl.

And you're goin' 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 baby, that's all.

Now saying goodbye girl
Don't ever come easy at all
But you've got to fly
'Cause you're hearing those young eagles call.

Someday when you're older
You'll smile at someone younger and eager to fall
You'll say I got a couple more years
On you baby, that's all.

And you'll say I got a couple more years
On you baby, that's all.
You'll say honey I've picked up
A couple more years on you baby, that's all...
