I've got a couple a more years on ya baby, that's all
Girl I've had more chances to fly and 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
Picked up a couple a more years on ya baby, that's all

I've walked a couple a more roads than you baby that's all
Girl I'm tired of running while you're only learning to crawl
You're headed somewhere I've been to somewhere found it was nowhere at all
I've picked up a couple of more years on ya baby that's all

Saying goodbye girl don't ever come easy at all
For your gonna fly 'cause you're hearing those young eagles call
Someday when you're older you'll smile at a man strong and tall
Say I've got a couple more years on ya baby
That's all

I've got a couple more years on ya baby that's all
Honey I've had more chances to fly and 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
I've got a couple of more years on ya baby, that's all

That's all

It's not that I'm wiser it's just that I've spent more time with my back to the wall
I've got a couple a more years on ya baby

That's all

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
