Couple More Years
Recorded by Waylon Jennings
Written by Shel Silverstein and Dennis Locorriere
[3/4 time]
G D7
I've got a couple more years on you baby that's all
G
I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall
Not that I'm wiser It's only that
G7 C
I've spent more time with my back to the wall
D7 G
And I've picked up a couple more years on you babe and that's all
D7
I've walked a couple more roads than you babe and that's all
G
And I'm tired of running while you're only learning to crawl
And you're headed somewhere but I've been to somewhere
G7 C
And found it was nowhere at all
D7 G
And I've picked up couple more years on you baby that's all
D7
Saying goodbye girl don't ever come easy at all
G
But you're gonna fly cause you're hearing them young eagles call
G7 C
Someday when you're older you'll smile at a man strong and tall
D7 G
Say I got a couple a more years on you babe and that's all
Repeat #1
