A couple more years

Dr. Hook - A couple more years



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

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, and that's all



I've walked a couple more roads than you babe and that's all

And I'm tired of runnin' 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, and that's all



Now saying goodbye girl, don't never come easy at all

But you've gotta fly 'cause you're hearing them young eagles call

And someday when you're older you'll smile at a man strong and tall

And you'll say I've got a couple more years on you babe and that's all



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

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, and that's all
