And found it was nowhere at all
I've got a couple more years on you babe, and that's all
And you're headin' somewhere, but I've been to somewhere
I've had more chances to fly, and more places to fall
I've walked a couple more roads than you babe, that's all
And I've picked up a couple more years on you babe, and that's all"
But you've gotta fly 'cause you're hearin' them young eagles call

And it ain't that I'm wiser, it's only that I've spent
More time with my back to the wall
You'll say,"I've got a couple more years on you babe, 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
And you'll say, "I've got a couple more years on you babe, that's all"
And I've picked up a couple more years on you babe, that's all
And I've picked up a couple more years on you babe, that's all
Now sayin' goodbye, girl, don't never come easy at all
More time with my back to the wall
And someday when you're older you'll smile at a man strong and tall
