Scarlet Ribbons

I've got a couple more years on you, baby, that's all

I've had more chances to fly, more places to fall

It's not that I'm wiser, it's just 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

You've walked a couple more roads than me, baby, that's all

You're tired of running and I'm only learning to crawl

But I'm going somewhere

And I've been to somewhere and I found it was nowhere at all

And I've picked up a couple more years on you, baby, that's all

Saying goodbye never comes easy at all

But I've got to fly 'cause I'm hearing the young eagles call

Someday when you're older you'll smile at a man strong and tall

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

I've had more chances to fly, more places to fall

It's not that I'm wiser, it's just 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 picked up a couple more years on you, baby, that's all
