Shel Silverstein - A Couple More YearsShel Silverstein - A Couple More Years
Work rating: Low


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. 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, baby.. that`s all. I`ve walked a couple more roads than you, baby...that`s all. And I`m tired of runnin` while you`re only learning 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 of years on you baby... that`s all. Now sayin` goodbye, girl don`t never come easy at all. But you`ve got to fly `cuz you`re hearin` those 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, baby... that`s all. I`ve got a couple more years on you baby... that`s all. You`ll say I`ve had more chances to fly and more places to fall. 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 baby... that`s all.
