Medley - Amanda - A Couple More Years

A D A I've held it all inward, God knows, I've tried A E A But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life A D A To look in the mirror in total surprise A E A At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes A D A Amanda, light of my life A E A Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife A D A Amanda, light of my life A E A Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife A E I've got a couple more years on you, baby, that's all. E A I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall. A And it ain't that I'm wiser, A D It's only that I've spent more time with my back to the wall. E A And I've picked up a couple more years on you, baby.. that's all. A E I've walked a couple more roads than you, baby, that's all. E A And I'm tired of runnin' while you're only learning to crawl. A And you're headin somewhere, A D But I've been to somewhere, and found it was nowhere at all. E A And I've picked up a couple of years on you baby, that's all. A E Now sayin' goodbye, girl don't never come easy at all. E A But you've got to fly 'cause you're hearin' those young eagles call. A D And someday when you're older, you'll smile at a man strong and tall. E A And you'll say I've got a couple more years on you, baby, that's all. A E I've got a couple more years on you baby, that's all. E A You'll say I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall. A It ain't that I'm wiser, A D It's only that I've spent more time with my back to the wall. E A And I've picked up a couple more years on you baby, that's all.
