Couple More Years Lyrics

Statler Brothers Couple More Years

I've got a couple of more years on you baby, that's all
Girl, I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall
It's not that I'm wiser, it's just that I've spent
More time with my back to the wall
Picked up a couple of more years on you, baby, that's all

I've walked a couple of more roads than you, baby , that's all
Girl, I'm tired of runnin' while you're only learning to crawl
You're headin' somewhere, I've been to somewhere
Found it was nowhere at all
I've picked up a couple of more years on you baby, that's all

Saying, goodbye girl, don't never come easy at all
You're gonna fly 'cause you're hearin' those young eagles call
And someday when you're older, you'll smile at a man strong and tall
And say I've got a couple of more years on you, babe, that's all

I've got a couple of more years on you baby, that's all
Honey, I've had more chances to fly, more places to fall
It's not that I'm wiser, it's just that I've spent
More time with my back to the wall
I've got a couple of more years on you baby, that's all

That's all

It's not that I'm wiser, it's just that I've spent
More time with my back to the wall, Jerry Lee
I've got a couple of more years on you baby, that's all
