More time with my back to the wall and I've picked up
It's not that I'm wiser, it's just that I've spent
I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall
A couple a more years on you babe and that's all
And I'm tired of running while you're only learning to crawl
But you got to fly cause you're hearin' them young eagles call
Sayin', "Goodbye girl don't ever come easy at all"
You'll say, "I've got a couple more years on you babe and that's all"
And you're going somewhere but I've been to somewhere
More time with my back to the wall and I've picked up
It's not that I'm wiser, it's just that I've spent
And found it was nowhere at all and I picked up
A couple more years on you babe and that's all
And say I got a couple more years on you babe, that's all
Someday when you're older, you'll smile at a man strong and told
Now I've walked a couple more roads than you babe and that's all
