A Couple More Years

(album: Fargo Country - 1977)

I've got a couple more years on you babe that's all
And 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 more time with my back to the wall
And I've picked up a couple more years on you babe that's all

Don't you know I've walked a couple more roads than you babe that's all
I'm tired of running while you're only learning to crawl
And you're heading 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 babe that's all

Now, saying goodbye boy don't ever come easy at all
But you've got to fly 'cause you're hearing those young eagles call
And someday when you're older I'll smile at a man strong and tall
And you'll say I've got a couple more years on you babe that's all

You'll say I've got a couple more years on you babe that's all
And 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 more time with my back to the wall
And I've picked up a couple more years on you babe that's all

Yeah, I've got a couple more years on you babe that's all
And 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 more time with my back to the wall
And I've picked up a couple more years on you babe that's all
