I've got a couple more years on you, baby...that's all. <br />I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall. <br />And it ain't that I'm wiser... <br />It's only that I've spent more time with my back to the wall. <br />And I've picked up a couple more years on you, baby.. that's all. <br /> <br />I've walked a couple more roads than you, baby...that's all. <br />And I'm tired of runnin' while you're only learning to crawl. <br />And you're headin somewhere... <br />But I've been to somewhere... and found it was nowhere at all. <br />And I've picked up a couple of years on you baby... that's all. <br /> <br />Now sayin' goodbye, girl don't never come easy at all. <br />But you've got to fly 'cuz you're hearin' those young eagles call. <br />And someday when you're older, you'll smile at a man strong and tall. <br />And you'll say I've got a couple more years on you, baby... that's all. <br /> <br />I've got a couple more years on you baby... that's all. <br />You'll say I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall. <br />It ain't that I'm wiser... <br />It's only that I've spent more time with my back to the wall. <br />And I've picked up a couple more years on you baby... that's all.<br /><br />Sheldon Allan Silverstein<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-couple-more-years/
