A Couple More Years Lyrics - Singles - Waylon Jennings

(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. 

--- Instrumental --- 

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.

More time with my back to the wall...
