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