Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show A Couple More Years Lyrics:
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, that's all.

I've walked a couple more roads than you, babe, that's all.
And I'm tired of runnin' while you're only learnin' to crawl.
And you're headin' 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.

[Instrumental break.]

Now, saying goodbye girl, don't never come easy at all.
But you've gotta fly 'cause you're hearin' 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, 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.
