I’ve obtained a pair extra years on you, child…that is all.
I’ve had extra possibilities to fly and extra locations to fall.
And it ain’t that I am wiser…
It is solely that I’ve spent extra time with my again to the wall.
And I’ve picked up a pair extra years on you, child.. that is all.
I’ve walked a pair extra roads than you, child…that is all.
And I am bored with runnin’ whilst you’re solely studying to crawl.
And also you’re headin someplace…
However I have been to someplace… and located it was nowhere in any respect.
And I’ve picked up a few years on you child… that is all.
Now sayin’ goodbye, woman do not by no means come straightforward in any respect.
However you have to fly ‘cuz you are hearin’ these younger eagles name.
And sometime if you’re older, you will smile at a person robust and tall.
And you may say I’ve obtained a pair extra years on you, child… that is all.
I’ve obtained a pair extra years on you child… that is all.
You will say I’ve had extra possibilities to fly and extra locations to fall.
It ain’t that I am wiser…
It is solely that I’ve spent extra time with my again to the wall.
And I’ve picked up a pair extra years on you child… that is all.
