A Couple More Years

(Shel Silverstein - Dennis Locorriere)
 I've got a couple more years on you baby that's all
 I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall
 That'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 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 going 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.

 Saying goodbye girl don't ever come easy at all
 But you've got to fly cause you're hearin' them young eagles call
 Someday when you're older you'll smile at a man strong and tall
 And say I've got a couple more years on you baby that's all.
 You'll say I've got a couple more years on you baby that's all
 I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall
 That's not that I'm wiser it's just that I've spent
 More time with my back to the wall...
