Couple More Years
Recorded by Waylon Jennings
Written by Shel Silverstein and Dennis Locorriere
[3/4 time]
A D A
I've held it all inward Lord knows I've tried
E7 A
But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life
D A
To look in the mirror in total surprise
E7 A
At the hair on your shoulders and the age in your eyes
D A
Amanda light of my life
E7 A
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
D A
Amanda light of my life
E7 A
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
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
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
