Medley: Amanda/A Couple More Years

Waylon Jennings
Medley Amanda
Couple more years
Settle down...
I've held it all inward
And God knows, I've tried
It's an awful awakening
In a country boy's life
To look in the mirror in total surprise
At the hair on my shoulders
And the age in my eyes
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
I've got a couple more years on you
Baby, and that's all
I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall
Isn't 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 and that's all
I've walked a couple more roads than you baby and that's all
And I'm tired of running while you're only learning to crawl
You're going somewhere but I've been to somewhere
And found it was nowhere at all
And I've picked up a couple more years on you baby and that's all
Play it Rabbit!!!
Sayin' goodbye, girl
Don't ever come easy at all
You're gone to fly 'cause you're hearin' them young eagles call
Someday when you're older
You'll think of me, and smile at a man strong and tall
You'll say I've got a couple more years on you, baby and that's all
Is 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 and that's all
