[D]
I've got a couple more years on your back, [A] and that's all.
I've got more chances to fly, more places [D] to fall.
And it ain't that I'm wiser, it's only that I've spent more time with my back [G] to the wall.
[A] And I've picked up a couple more years on your back, [D] and that's all.
And I've walked a couple more roads than you, baby, [A] that's all.
And I'm tired of running, well you're only learning [D] to crawl.
And you're headed somewhere, but I've been to somewhere, and found it was nowhere [G] at all.

But you've gotta fly, cause you're hearing them young [D] eagles call.
And someday when you're older, you'll smile at a man [G] who's strong and tall.
