In case you have never heard of Dr. Hook, they were very popular in late sixties. They roared through the seventies and some members are still touring. Classic melodies. Fun music. Check out their other big hits on You Tube. This one is a reminder for today's youth that those around them with grey hair and a few extra pounds may know a thing or two that they don't.
I've got a
couple more years on you, babe,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.
