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
 It's not that I'm wiser, it's just that I've spent
 More time with my back to the wall and I've picked up
 couple a more years on you babe and that's all

Now I've walked a couple more roads than you babe and that's all
 And I'm tired [bad word] 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
 couple more years on you babe and that's all

Sayin', "Goodbye girl don't [bad word] 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 and told
 And say I got a couple more years on you babe, 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
 It's not that I'm wiser, it's just that I've spent
 More time with my back to the wall and I've picked up
 couple a more years on you babe and that's all.
